Kelsie Grace was 24. 
No hospitality experience. 
Not even enough money, really. 

But she had determination, a Tik Tok account and a bunch of friends and family she somehow managed to convince to invest in her.

Now Gracie’s Wine Room is the place to be in Melbourne, it’s been featured in Broadsheet, Urban List AND even the New York Post.

In this episode, Shane and Kirsty are joined by Kelsie Grace, an incredible entrepreneur who wasn’t in the position to create a business and yet she made it work.

Find out:

How Kelsie used social media to build a loyal community before she even opened her doors

What it was like launching with zero hospitality experience (and what she did to make it work)

Why she’s so confident in her target market +  how that’s paying off in fully booked nights

How she spotted a gap in the market and figured out what gen z REALLY want to see

… and SO much more.
