1Xtra DJ Jamz Supernova meets six young entrepreneurs who want to do things their own way. They’re determined to turn their passions into successful businesses but have they got the hustle or is it just hot air?
From running a food truck to designing clothes, Jamz follows the four businesses over several months to see if they have what it takes to make it big in the highly competitive world of business. They don’t want to be wage slaves and they don’t want to work for anyone else but can they do better by being their own boss?
Increasing numbers of young people want to quit the traditional 9 to 5 and run their own businesses. These six entrepreneurs have the dream and the determination to make it happen but do they have the talent, the skills and the MONEY?
Jamz introduces them to mentors who try to steer them on the right path to success. Grime photographer Keaton gets commissioned to shoot Rag'n'Bone Man but misses his flight! Zoe and Jess try and explain the food business to
Gizzi Erskine who leaves a little confused…
But even with all the advice – who will take it on and succeed and who will ultimately fail?
