Lysander Bickham: The 16 year old CEO

My guest for today's episode is the amazing 16 year old entrepreneur Lysander Bickham. Lysander is the founder of Leo’s Box - and eco friendly subscription box that’s filled with either home or beauty products and is delivered monthly to your door.   Concerned with the plight of our planet, Lysander decided to start a business that offers a more sustainable choice to consumers. I was lucky enough to try one of the beauty boxes and had some lovely natural soaps, a biodegradable sponge, natural coconut oil make-up remover and some natural deodorant.   I think it’s amazing that Lysander has taken something he’s really concerned about and turned it into a business at the tender age of 16. In this episode we talk a lot about why he’s done it, his concerns for the future, the school system and sustainability and how he naively thought that starting a business would be easy.   He chooses what products go into his subscription boxes extremely carefully and if you’re at all interested in giving one a go then please do check out leosbox.co.uk   gracekingwell.com @gracekingswell
