Joining me on today's episode of The English Wine Diaires podcast is wine enthusiast, entrepreneur and modern-day innovator, Lucy Hitchcock. Lucy is an e-commerce and branding consultant and the founder of Partner In Wine, a business born out of need – the need to avoid drinking warm rosé wine at all costs.

Since then the business has collaborated with Elizabeth Arden, Candy Kittens, Doughnut Time, Nails Inc, Mirabeau, is stocked in Selfridges and Liberty in London and Lucy's quirky social videos continue to entertain audiences across the globe.We talk about the highs and lows of starting a business from scratch, how social media is opening up a new audience to the wonders of wine and what innovation truly means.

Episode discussion topics The future is barreling towards us, and for now, our way of living is highly unsustainable, so we are on the hunt for new solutions to put on the table. Inspiration for this episode comes to us from Sweden, where only 1% of their trash ends up in a landfill. What are some lessons that we can learn from their example? Enter microeconomic actor: ReTuna (thanks to Business Insider for covering) The world's first secondhand mall. Located next to a recycling center, the Swedish mall repurposes everything from toys to furniture and electronics. As we ask ourselves what world our children deserve to inherit, we must also ask more profound questions about our consumer-driven economy. We believe the new age will have communities coming together to demand better waste management for health's sake. Small business ownership presents an answer to how Americans may sustain their livelihoods and our nation. Major corporations have had ample time at the helm of capitalism, and frankly, there are no thanks due for their innovative use of more and more landfills. Our age of self-rule means we can innovate and replace these dinosaurs of industry. As many have come to learn through experience, the act of scaling into a large company, one can predict the elimination of personalization and humanization for efficiency. In this area, small is more local and diverse. It also offers consumers more choices and presents us with more opportunities to attain entrepreneurship. The towns and cities are much older than globalization. We believe it is entirely reasonable that the model of neighborhoods and local main streets will be the place for the future economy to thrive. With community-focused solutions such as ReTuna, we might even see a few malls come back along the way. Calls to Action: At the local level, we can explore recreating this model, which presents one example on the ground of circular or doughnut economics transition in action. A model where trash is turned into another person's gold, being resold in a responsible and sustainable way. Start with asking your city or county representative questions about what their sustainability plans are or how they're planning to reduce carbon and methane emissions. Then seek out proposals for what you think is missing and could be of benefit to your community. Submit that proposal to the representative who responded to your question. Seek out local groups who are also keen on implementing new ways to solve these problems in our communities.

Each of us can do more to consider the end-to-end life of our purchases and put to bed the long-standing practice of allowing marketing to divorce us from the true costs of unbridled consumption.

On this week's episode of the Unnatural Selection Podcast we discuss: Potter Chat Donald Trump and Malcolm Turnbull put their heads together to avoid shooting themselves in the foot. Trump proceeds to shoot himself, and everyone else in the foot with steel sanctions. Seriously, there’s a lot of reasons why that’s a bad idea. Brexit: Geopolitical Thelma and Louise. Australia pats itself on the back for its steel tariff exemption. Kim Jong Un and President Trump to sit down over some kimchi and discuss denuclearisation. Turns out Doughnut Time didn’t have a business model after all. Apple designs a campus so clean that everyone keeps bashing their heads on it. President Xi to stick around potentially forever!

Episode 2 - Kim Toovey It was so fulfilling and exciting to have a great chat with one of my best friends Kim Toovey. Kim has had over 20 years experience in hospitality and to hear his journey in his early years at McDonalds, starting his own business with Wok Me and moving onto even bigger experiences with Grill'd and Doughnut Time, it was humbling and humbling to hear his story. Even from someone who knows him as well as me. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/principle-of-hospitality/message
