🥜 Stu Macdonald is the founder of ManíLife , a business he started out of a rugby club kitchen with 45 friends 5 years ago and now the fastest-growing peanut butter brand in the UK.

A, somewhat cliched, unfulfilled accountant, Macdonald left a job at PwC after just 11 months to pursue a profession in peanut butter. He has never looked back since. His journey to date has been characterised by a chaotic swing of extreme highs and devastating lows, which should make for some riveting chat!
