Ronni Kahn: The OzHarvest Switch


Listen Later

This podcast had me in inspirational heaven from the first bite! I was honoured to have social enterprise Rockstar Ronni Kahn join me on this episode, sharing her journey from growing up in South Africa to living in a kibbutz in Israel to emigrating to Australia in 1998   Ronni and I chew the food wastage on how she made the switch from owning and operating a successful management organisation to founding OzHarvest, a social enterprise that delivers some 25 million meals per year from food that would otherwise be dumped.   We share the ride, beginning with Ronni hand delivering excess food from functions to homeless shelters, to then lobbying to change civil liability and health legislation that previously prevented food donors from supplying excess food to NFP organisations.   If you want a fantastic example of grit, determination, inspiration and ability to change the world then is it! We chat how OzHarvest was a side hustle for 7 years and now is growing into a global enterprise with South Africa Harvest, NZHarvest, UKHarvest and JapanHarvest with more countries on the horizon helping to bridge the social inequality gap!   Join our Facebook group here: (www.facebook.com/groups/461822665123720) chat to Ronni (www.facebook.com/ronni.kahn.9) or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch, starting a small business or growing an Empire.
