In episode 5 of Change Makers, Michael brings you a fascinating interview with Planet Organic founder Reneé Elliott who gives her top tips for maintaining a positive mindset through lockdown, why you should always put yourself first, and says why she believes the lessons of lockdown will enable us to tackle other great challenges ahead.
In 1995, Renée Elliott founded Planet Organic, the first organic supermarket in the UK and now a successful multi-million-pound brand. From an early age she was asking: is there a better way? And she has been committed to that ethos ever since. Hers is a healthy living story that has created a haven for food and encouraged more of us to make the right choices. Together with Sam Wigan, she is co-founder of business and life skills academy Beluga Bean.
