In this episode, I speak to Mike Williamson, CEO and President of Cascadia Seaweed
Cascadia Seaweed is growing to be one of the largest providers of cultivated seaweed, a climate-positive crop with a variety of uses requiring only the sea and sunlight to grow. This British Columbia based corporation was founded in 2019 by three maritime professionals who believe in building a profitable and scalable business that enhances the natural environment, reverses human impact on the oceans, and provides economic opportunity for rural and coastal communities.

1. His background and journey to founding Cascadia Seaweed
2. What problems he is solving now and How the business model works
3. How he came up with a business idea
4. Innovative seaweed products and potential market
5. The long term vision for Cascadia Seaweed
