Planet Driven Brands Podcast Amanda Rolat. Amanda has a fascinating story to tell! She didn't set out to tun a pet food company, but the devastating loss of her beloved dog Harry to cancer, got her to investigating the pet food market. What she found out left her feeling that she needed to do something and Bramble was born. Today we hear how Amanda developed a clean and healthy vegan pet food product that is not only sustainable for the planet, but crucially is also much better for her dogs (Bryn & McGruff) Amanda's passion is second to none, but furthermore so is her knowledge and she really believes we all have a role in challenging the status quo in how our pets' food is being prepared and marketed. As she says: "I think it's a really great time to drive a much broader conversation looking at what we're told and really beginning to question the veracity of those claims and what our pets really need!" Amanda like all our panellists, is passionate not only about her role but the role everyone is playing in creating a better future.

It is fair to say I was absolutely blown away by what he has to say. Dan has lived his life contemplating the climate crisis and is determined to do something about it.

Planet Driven Brands Podcast Jason Ash. Jason has a fascinating story to tell; one that started with a Radio Flyer truck and which has resulted in sharing, getting-rid-of-waste, platform YoungPlanet. From watching his son's excitement Jason developed an idea and we now benefit from his vision as he tackles waste in kids products head-on. The story is insightful, charming and instructive and Jason demonstrates fully the human nature of collaboration, whilst at the same time challenging us all to do more within a highly complex system. As with most of our guests Jason has interesting words to say on plastic and how we can better utilise its positive side. In fact Jason is a very positive guest who believes that we should do something about the "90% of kids stuff (that) lies dormant" and he passionately believes the way to do this is by giving, which in its own way creates a sustainable infrastructure and market. As he says: "The Joy of giving, whilst nobody's going to put a number on it in terms of monetary value, it does feel really nice to do that and in the process, of doing that, do the RIGHT THING!"

Planet Driven Brands Podcast Geraldine Stark. Geraldine has had a lifelong passion to change the way we treat animals and here she discusses how she plans to do it with Refarm'd This is a fascinating story of how business and farming can collaborate in developing new ways to use land and help bring much needed investment and capital to farmers who need it. By looking at the dairy farm supply chain Geraldine has set out to work with farmers to switch their expertise from dairy to plant milk. Essentially the same system but with plants as the source as opposed to pregnant cows! Geraldine discusses her passion and demonstrates how Refarm'd will assist everyone within that supply chain to create a better system for a better world. She mentions how she was inspired by Jay Wild and his film '73 Cows' and how she is now working together with Jay to get Refarm'd going. She wants to do this with farmers for the sake of the animals As she says: "If the farming industry continues to breed billions of lives into this industry every year, it's never ending. So we need to have more impact on this and to stop this production!"
