With over 15 years of experience in the business industry, now a CEO and Founder of a company on a mission to solve the global single-use plastic problem. Serving about 7,000 households around Australia with over 25 FTEs. (Episode 226 - Mike Smith)

In this episode, I interview Mike Smith, the Founder, and CEO of Zero Co based in Byron Bay, Australia. Mike has set up his own company to help solve the global single-use plastic problem by delivering incredible products.

With over 15 years of experience in the business industry, Mike decided to leave his two former businesses to pursue new opportunities and give cause and awareness for nature. Zero Co was established in 2019 and has been running for over 2 years. Serving about 7,000 households around Australia with over 25 FTEs.

Mike has said that growing a small business requires being radically transparent and mission-focused to get a bigger response from the audience. So he says, “The more we’ve challenged ourselves, and pushed ourselves to be radically transparent, the bigger response we can get from the audience.”
