In episode 5 I sit down with Environmentalist and owner of the company Bloom [Starts With You] Michael De La Cruz to talk about creating a business through sustainability. In this episode, we discuss his journey with Florida Gulf Coasts University's runway program for students/Alumni seeking to pursue an entrepreneurial business venture,  we discuss the importance of utilizing more sustainable products,  how he goes about designing his handmade Bloom Products, the materials that affect the environment on a global scale, the implications of harming the environment, and of course the main focus of the podcast; how to initially start your own business and tips for building your circle of connections. If you enjoyed listening to this episode, please let Michael and myself know on social media - we would love to hear from all of you. Also, The Real Hero podcast can now be listened to on google podcasts, Anchor, RadioPublic, Spotify, and of course iTunes on apple podcasts.
