Forty minutes with the founder of Lumea on hospitality, patience and the year with zero guests.

Nadia Lam did not set out to build a resort. She set out to run a restaurant with rooms, on an island, and to never grow faster than the reef could take.

In this episode she talks with Hana Reid about the lease negotiation that took three years, the pandemic, and why the firm's best move was to do nothing.

Recorded in the Type Capital studio in Melbourne.
