Welcome back. Last week, Ashley McDonnell sat down Annabel Hay, founder and CEO of Clutch Glue, to unpack what happens after virality, from manufacturing and retail expansion to fundraising strategy and systems that scale. If you missed it, listen here.
For Episode 3, our host Ashley McDonnell sits down with Gordon Renouf, co founder of Good On You.

Regulation matters, but culture and incentives matter more than purity, and poorly designed rules can drive greenhushing.
Retailers and landlords may become the fastest enforcement layer, because distribution and tenancy are leverage.
