In Episode 1 of Two Teachers Talk Business, we were lucky enough to chat to Tessa Clarke, the co-founder of OLIO who provided us with a valuable insight into the world of ethics, entrepreneurship, and women in business.

Tessa Clarke co-founded Olio after a successful corporate career where she even worked alongside James Dyson at one point. The story of Olio began with a ambitious vision and a WhatsApp group of just 12 people, which has evolved into a community of 2 million worldwide users with a view of changing the world and the we see and act with food. 

During the podcast Tessa shares some of the key moments which shaped her as an individual and her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. Key topics discussed include: progressing from initial idea to product launch, expanding the product portfolio, having doubters & overcoming them, the experience of being a woman in business, both in the corporate world & as an entrepreneur, how market research helped to shape Olio as a business, and Tessa's top tips for entrepreneurs.

We hope you find Tessa very insightful and her words very valuable.
