Welcome to the first episode of a series of interviews with entrepreneurs reflecting on the lessons they learned from COVID-19.&nbsp;
Today I am speaking with Alana from Alana &amp; Co, a New Zealand based maker of hand poured and hand crafted soy candles.
Alana turned her hobby into a business in the middle of the lockdown in August 2021.In this episode Alana shares her experience of starting a business in lockdown, the power of collaborations and what she has learnt about herself along the way.
Alana has such an amazing story with so many serendipitous turns Alana &amp; Co was just absolutely meant to be!
