So grateful I got to have this meaningful chat with Jamie Totino and talk about his life experiences and how he got into his business, Real Food Vending.
Growing up as a regular Italian Aussie kid, loving sports with his brothers playing footy and cricket, Jamie got to a semi-professional level with VFL and almost started an AFL career. Jamie left school in year 11 to work as a tradie in construction like the rest of his family.
Being fit and active from a child to adulthood, he thought surely there are better fast food options than the sausage roll at the local bakery. With that came Jamie’s lightbulb moment of bringing healthy takeaway alternatives and Real Food delivery service was born in 2017. This has now rapidly evolved into a vending machine franchise and movement. Real Food Vending is available all over Victoria and expanding nationally, with each machine dispensing healthy, mouth-watering meals with just a tap.
Jamie has also built a highly successful education business travelling the country working with business owners coaching and mentoring them to help achieve greater professional and personal success.
This was dope and you can find my key takeaways here below!
