Saasha Celestial-One is a powerhouse pioneer of the sharing economy - co-founder of Olio, the neighbourhood food sharing app that is re-humanising big tech while tackling a colossal part of the climate change puzzle.

Olio came about in 2015 when Saasha and her co-founder Tessa realised they both cared a lot about the issue of food waste, so decided to give themselves a year to do something about it. Their market research and found that 1 in 3 people are “physically pained” throwing away food but like all good pirates they knew that for it to work, they'd have to start small, and simple, and resist being overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge. Suffice to say, 6 years down the line the app is now making a massive impact, so in this episode we dig into how exactly they got there.
