Patrick Dale brings some sweet news all the way from Lake Cathie and updates on how his marshmallow business is growing!
We caught up with 14-year-old Patrick Dale, and it was so inspiring to hear how he is sailing strong into his 5-year business plan. Patrick is 18 months into it and he is actually 6 months ahead of schedule!
Patrick was only 10 years old when he started his business. From creating his delicious treats in his kitchen with his mother, the family has now purchased a shipping container unit that has been converted into a commercial kitchen. Patrick has even been invited to the Global Entrepreneurship Congress held in Melbourne attended by thousands of entrepreneurs from all over the world.
