Summary
From standing on a Sydney wharf watching her husband sail away on a tuna boat to building one of Australia’s most recognised seafood brands, Heidi Walker’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, risk-taking, and backing a vision when nobody else can see it. Heidi shares the story behind Walker Seafoods and Walker’s Tuna, and the lessons learned growing a business through uncertainty, setbacks, and relentless persistence. - Get in touch with Heidi Walker - https://walkerstuna.com - Heidi’s Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? “Success means different things in different areas of life. In business it’s achievement and growth, but at home it’s being with my family and enjoying our time together.” What does happiness mean to you? “Happiness is my family. But I also get happiness from my work. It’s finding the balance.” What’s your normal morning routine these days? “Up at 6am, getting the girls ready for school, checking emails and handling calls from the US before grabbing breakfast and getting into the day.” What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? “At the end of the day, it comes down to you. You have to be responsible for yourself and your own happiness.” Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? “Tony Kelly.” - Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity - Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod - Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:44) – Chapter 1 | From Sydney Corporate Life To Commercial Fishing (00:21:00) – Chapter 2 | Betting Everything On Walker Seafoods (00:47:03) – Chapter 3 | COVID, Walker’s Tuna & Going Global (01:06:48) - Quick Fire Questions (01:09:13) - Outro - #podcast #entrepreneurship #familybusiness
