  • #3: A new dad on a mission to reduce waste. - #impact Podcast
    In this episode, I meet with Patrick Kosiol, Founder & CEO Swap it.
    Patrick says: “Hong Kong produces 15,000 tonnes of waste every day. That equals the weight of 6,500 Mercedes S Class Cars. So yes, if Swapit can provide a platform where people can trade their used stuff with others nearby, and it removes the need for them to throw those things away, Swapit has a positive impact on our environment.”
    His original motivation for starting an online marketplace had a lot to do with him becoming a dad after his wife gave him some tasks in preparation for the arrival of their new baby. He lets us in on his marketing tricks, things that did not work at all, his lessons from pitching to investors and I get a present.
    Follow Swapit on Facebook, Twitter and check out their blog as well for fun behind the scenes stories from Patrick and his team.
