Episode 129 - Creativity, Community and Entrepreneurship with Abbie Wood

A small project while she was at primary school was the catalyst to this week's guests foray into the world of entrepreneurship. Abbie Wood talks to us about how creating and selling bracelets at her grannie's market was her first step into realising that she had a creative brain but also a mindset that would foster the idea of creating value through her own enterprise as she got older. We speak to Abbie about her company, Grow Easy, that she started as a project while at school and is still running today and how that has been a success through the help of her family, her mentors and just people that have been kind to her with both time and advice. We delve into her idea for the Together Collective, another creation that Abbie wanted to bring to life to highlight the talents of creative young people in a centralised platform. Amongst this we also speak about being student, the reality of being away from home and capturing the essence of traversing all the worlds that Abbie lives in. Abbie leaves us all with a beautiful piece of knowledge which will get you all thinking! Enjoy Prajesh and Tane
