Some people in this world, but not so many nowadays it seems, are truly humble. This woman is one of them - in the intro to the podcast, Roanne will give you the living proof. Meet: Lara van Druten, CEO and founder of The Waste Transformers, an award-winning company that works worldwide to deal with waste in a way that is environmentally ánd socially sustainable. She's a powerhouse, but, as said: a humble one. Lucky for us, she packs her story full of positive inspiration on how to make change, while also making money.
Roanne and Lara discuss:
- How young Lara saw what no one back then saw: we need online universities (and she opened one!)
- How she then saw that the current waste system, is simply stupid
- How she managed to found a smarter waste company - without any relevant study background (but she has a major in philosophy, as well as in international politics, amongst others!)
- Why she allows chaos in her mind
- What good plans all need if they want to turn into successes (hint: business!)
- Why words like value and purpose, actually became valuable again
