    Abena Poku- Awua Founder of Legacy Market Place

    This episode is brought to you by Redbull Amaphiko Academy, giving wings to entrepreneurs making a difference in their corner of the world. Meeting Abena Poku Awua reminded me that there is a business in everything. You just have to follow your gut and passion. I hope you feel inspired to make a difference in this world after this episode. About The Legacy Marketplace: The Legacy Marketplace aims to solve two problems: friction in the event planning process and increasing attention to reduce the environmental impact of our lives. The Legacy Marketplace aims to help businesses and consumers take relevant and impactful action on acting against climate change. It removes the friction in event planning, incentivising sustainable events that have minimal impact on the environment and that act as a catalyst for positive social change. Abena has worked in the sustainability sector for 15 years, her lightbulb moment came in 2016. She was frequently expected to organise events for my clients outside of my main responsibilities. She was also juggling a demanding job with trying to arrange various special occasions for my friends and family. The problem was there was not one place that you could go to compare the options and book there and then.. I LOVE it when you share your thoughts with me so please tell me what you think..

    Alice Ojeda Founder of Authentic House

    This episode is brought to you by Redbull Amaphiko Academy, giving wings to entrepreneurs making a difference in their corner of the world. Alice Ojeda is such a breath of fresh air and it was amazing to learn so much about how we can do our part in creating a better environment. I felt so inspired to truly make an impact and I hope you feel the same way! About Authentic House Authentic House is for people who want to change their lives to be in line with their values, by reducing their environmental impact in a way that’s positive and long-term. The inspiration for Authentic House came from seeing a simple fuzzy washing up brush made of coconut fibres. It was beautiful, practical and such an obvious alternative to a plastic brush. Alice found more small products like this and realised that eco-friendly living is easier than people think. A change can begin with the smallest step. She launched an eco-friendly subscription service to make this lifestyle change effortless for people, and to help them find ethical products and makers that really did match their values. I LOVE it when you share your thoughts with me so please tell me what you think..

    Donna Johnson - Founder of NAIL'D IT

    Sometimes you just have to do it without thinking too much about it. It's the total opposite to what you may have heard before but bravery is truly the language of a successful entrepreneur and Donna is no different. A true creative and inspiration, Donna changed the game with her incredible (instagrammable) Nail Bar NAILD'IT and she's just getting started! So excited for this episode because as usual the gems are crazy! I personally felt incredibly inspired having the conversation and I have so much faith that you will end this episode feeling empowered and ready to take that leap you have been putting off for so long! P.S. This wasn't recorded in a studio so please ignore any small sound issues. Apologies xoxo I LOVE it when you share your thoughts with me so please tell me what you think..

    Faith, Fashion and Creating with Ruth Afolabi

    When I think about Ruth, I think about Excellence and Details. In a time where Print Magazines are in decline, Ruth and her team have continued to build a great Faith based Fashion Magazine called Magnify. Not only does she have an amazing magazine but she has also created a space where others can grow together through her events held at the Magnify Building. Tune into this episode to learn how each little step has lead to where she is now, how important it is to pivot (my fav word) and the power of letting go. Hope you enjoy this episode! Tell me what you think.. Twitter: @_bigpicturepod Instagram: @msritab Twitter: @msritab #BigPicturePodcast Stay in touch with Ruth Instagram: @ruthymag @magnifycollective www.magnifycollective.com
