In this episode of Small Business, Big Impact, host Jay-Ann Gilfoy, CEO of Meridian Credit Union, sits down with Daniel Moll, Founder and CEO of EarthSuds. Daniel shares how a moment on a beach sparked the idea for plastic-free, dissolvable shampoo and soap tablets, and how years of trial, failure, and persistence turned that idea into a growing Canadian business.
