Nigel Cottle on Crave Cafe and the dangers of “success”

Nigel is a co-founder and Manager of social enterprise Crave Cafe in Morningside in Auckland.  In this interview we talk about his childhood memories of the Solomon Islands, how he moved from the desire to make lots of money into setting up Crave, the challenges of operating a social enterprise (particularly in the hospitality industry), the dangers that can come with “success” and the transformation it is bringing to the suburb there and plans for the future.
