This Thing of Ours

In this episode, we're joined by Belinda Hall, discussing the unusual journeys we go through in life and business. We touch on industry 4.0 and the Circular Economy, and what it's like to work with family.

Mike gave us such a valuable and insightful peek behind the scenes of the FMCG industry during the pandemic. We get into the role purpose played in motivating and mobilising action in business and how industries are thinking about the future in light of the pivots they had to make. We ask the question, how retailers are thinking about 'share of stomach and how they will have to step up from a customer experience perspective!
