"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans,” is a John Lennon quote that Mallika Reddy swears by. She’s the Founder and Creative Director of Cancelled Plans, a sustainable streetwear fashion brand that makes its products from industrial waste. The brand saw some difficult times in the past couple of years and had taken a bit of a hiatus. It is now coming back as a new company – building a community of creative change-makers. Here’s a podcast that looks at the plans we make, and the plans we break, by sharing the unexpected journeys of creative individuals from various walks of life who have made their mark with their stories and the curveballs life throws at them.
