Simon Gault is a man who wears many hats- celebrity chef, entrepreneur, pilot and most importantly- dad.
In this podcast conversation he let his guard down in ways that I wasn’t expecting. We discuss his early years in the kitchen under the notoriously prickly former podcast guest Tony Astle, stories from working as the personal chef for the Larry Ellison, building Euro with Leo Malloy and navigating fame during MasterChef at its peak.
Then there is all the non-work stuff: becoming a dad at 50, losing his father to motor neuron disease (and what assisted dying looked like in practice), and his own health journey with type 2 diabetes, losing 32kg, and the habits he now swears by.
When I asked Simon to be a guest, I expected it to be a great episode. But the conversation we had exceeded all my expectations.
