Episode Description

<h2>Introduction</h2><p>Cobus Ooosthuizen&nbsp;has always wanted to bust advertisement claims and proof them wrong. That is also why he took on the wool industry to proof the outrages claims the industry was making about wool&nbsp;as false.

Cobus&nbsp;talked about his experience with wool at the last IWTO Wool Round Table in South Africa. This episode is a live recording from the event.
