  • Episode 65: Kees Aarts, CEO & Founder @ Protix
    Planet Driven Brands Podcast Kees Aarts
    Kees is a leader. A leader in the world of insects!
    He had an idea in the pub many years ago and that has lead to world leading business, @protix
    Kees and  Protix harness the enormous power of insects and the ability to supply 'food in balance with nature'
    Insects are nature’s most powerful up-cyclers and are therefore a missing link in our food system.
    They can help create a circular food system and enable us to move from a resource depleting linear system of production
    Protix leads the world in this technology and here Kees opens our eyes to the potential.
    As he says:
    "We need to reduce our land use and we need to reuse nutrition of all the food waste we generate. So insects, as a technology, to circulate nutrition on a low footprint basis makes sense!"
    Here, on Planet Driven Brands Podcast Kees Aarts lets us into his world and his clear passion for insects!

  • Episode 56: Giles Atwell, Co-Founder @ Russell & Atwell Chocolatiers
    Planet Driven Brands Podcast Giles Atwell
    I defy you to listen and not crave one of these chocolates!
    Giles has been on quite a journey which has lead to the foundation of  Russell & Atwell
    These are category changing chocolates, because they come direct from the fridge and furthermore don't contain palm oil, but cream.
    In establishing their brand they have stayed true to their own values and mission.
    Which has lead to them being as sustainable as they can be, but never compromising on taste
    Giles thinks they don't have strong sustainable credentials but this pod demonstrates that we beg to differ!
    Giles, like many of our guests is determined that we all play a role in saving our planet; as he says:
    "Every business, every person has a responsibility to do as much as we possibly can to help if not ourselves, but our children and our children's children in future generations; but its here and its now and its not going away!"
    Here, in Planet Driven Brands Podcast Giles Atwell he is refreshingly honest about the pitfalls of starting your own business in a sustainable environment.
