In this episode, I sit down with Carina Mercer, founder of Catering by Carina, for a relaxed and honest conversation about food, business, and building something personal from passion.

We talk about how Carina turned her love of cooking into a bespoke catering business, what makes her approach different, and the real work that goes into delivering stress-free, high-quality events.

We cover:

• How her journey into catering began • What “bespoke catering” really means • The types of events she works best with • The common stresses clients face and how she solves them • What makes a great referral for her business

This episode is perfect for anyone planning an event, anyone in business networking, or anyone who loves hearing how passion becomes profession.

If you know someone organising a wedding, private celebration, or corporate event and looking for reliable, personal, high-quality catering — this conversation will show you exactly why Carina should be on their radar.

We discuss: • What people misunderstand about lie detectors • How accurate is polygraph testing really is • The types of situations where testing is used • The ethical responsibility behind truth verification • The emotional impact of getting clear answers If you’ve ever wondered whether you’d pass a lie detector test or when one might actually make sense, this conversation gives you a grounded, professional insight into the process.
