The bigger the network, the stronger the network effects. Join an insightful episode of Conquer New Markets as Levent is joined by Saasha Celestial-One, the chief operating officer and co-founder of OLIO. Together they discuss international growth, creating supply and demand in new markets and why it's important to start a mission-driven business.  KEY TAKEAWAYS To launch into new markets you have to have very strong organic activity. Select test markets and a hypothesis to launch into them by generating some demand. To grow internationally you need to get the supply and to get the supply you need to identify the demand. Next, you need to get in the press, form partnerships, get the volunteers, get the local business partners and get everything in one place. The talent acquisition market right now for most companies is hard but we've found, people really want to work for a company that has an authentic purpose, authentic mission and that does something meaningful. New entrepreneurs should always look to start a business they're passionate about and is mission-driven. The bigger the network, the stronger the network effects. If we have a large and engaged user base, there are lots of different ways to commercialise. It's really important if you want to scale and you're going to need capital to scale as a social enterprise that your social and your commercial. BEST MOMENTS “To grow you have to be incredibly lean and incredibly resourceful.” “Nearly 10 million people in this country struggle to feed themselves on a daily basis and a lot of them have smartphones and  a roof over their head, but that doesn't mean that they have a food budget or household budget.” “It's amazing for a social enterprise to grow internationally because you're developing a good cause.” “We had to have faith that the demand would come.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://olioex.com/ CONTACT METHOD Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/leventyildizgoren/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/yildizgoren IG: https://www.instagram.com/levent.yildizgoren/ ABOUT THE HOST Levent Yildizgoren, the author of 'Good Business in any Language', is an award-winning entrepreneur, localisation professional and a PRINCE2 qualified project manager.  ABOUT THE GUEST Saasha is the Co-Founder & COO of OLIO, a free app that harnesses the power of mobile technology and the sharing economy to provide a revolutionary new solution to the problem of food waste.

There are twice as many male entrepreneurs as female ones. And only 1% of startup funding goes to female-founded businesses.“When I started, there was not a whiff of any kind of VC money specifically for female businesses, there were no female networking clubs, there were no female support groups, there was nothing.”In this one-off episode, recorded at our live event for International Women’s Day 2020, these founders share some of the toughest moments they’ve had in their careers, they discuss access to funding, and why there has never been a better time to become an entrepreneur, if you’re female. “I suppose my coping mechanism is to try and ignore [imposter syndrome] and just focus on solving the problems that will make my business better and more valuable, rather than constantly worrying about my own performance.”We chat about:Their toughest moments as entrepreneursFunding as female entrepreneursThe shifting gender balanceTackling imposter syndromeLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/alice-bentinckhttps://www.secretleaders.com/allbright-debbie-woskowhttps://www.secretleaders.com/saasha-celestial-onehttps://www.secretleaders.com/tamara-lohanWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

Have you seen your household food waste increase exponentially during the pandemic? You’re not alone. “Food waste in homes is more under scrutiny now than ever because people are not used to cooking at home, seven days a week. It's the perfect storm for trying to figure out your cooking schedule and using everything and that definitely produces food waste, at least initially until you've found your equilibrium.”Chatting all things food waste on this episode of Secret Leaders are two entrepreneurial power houses beating the same drum, but tackling the global issue of food waste from different angles. We have Saasha Celestial-One, COO and co-founder of food sharing platform Olio who has featured on the podcast before (her episode is in the links section) and Hjalmar Ståhlberg Nordegren, CEO and co-founder at Karma. Hjalmar is a Swedish medical doctor turned entrepreneur. Together they’re both seeking a solution to the $1.2 trillion food waste problem.Join us as we discuss what’s been happening with the food waste problem during the pandemic, as well as what we can all do within our own communities to help tackle this unsustainable issue (one third to 40% of all food is wasted globally), as well as how to create a business that both monetises food waste and builds communities. “Find a co-founder or co-founders who are 100% obsessed with your mission and recruit for mission. So we always recruit for mission first, you can train people and upskill people, but you can't train passion and mission alignment.”We chat about:Impact of COVID-19 on food wasteBreakdown in food charitable chainsThe recession and the food waste issueEarth overshoot dayBuilding communities through food wasteStarting an impact companyLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/saasha-celestial-onehttps://www.overshootday.org/Want to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

Saasha Celestial-One may sound like a band formed in the swinging sixties, but she’s actually one half of a food waste startup looking to sign up 1 billion users to food sharing app, Olio, by 2025. Born and raised by hippy parents in Iowa, Saasha cut her teeth upcycling and tackling food waste from a very early age. Having grown up with not very much, she set her mind on building a bulletproof CV and worked hard to de-risk her professional career - she admits she was really seeking financial security and career stability. But having worked at Morgan Stanley, McKinley and American Express, she knew her heart wasn’t in financial services and consulting. And it was whilst on maternity leave when she took redundancy, realising she was financially secure, did she finally turn her hand to something she was truly passionate about. Her first foray into entrepreneurship was the hugely successful My Creche, London's first PAYG provider offering flexible childcare for busy parents. But that was nothing in comparison to the behemoth challenge she is tackling by way of Olio. Join us today whilst we talk with Saasha about her journey from Midwest America to tackling food waste, one sweet potato and leftover cabbage at a time. We talk with Saasha about: Olio, what it means, and how it’s tackling the problem of food waste How redundancy changed her life Why a leftover sweet potato and a cabbage brought her to her current path How far £40k will go when you start your startup How Olio began with 12 people in a Whatsapp group Olio’s reliance on volunteers to spread the food waste message How you can get involved The best piece of advice she’s ever been given Links: www.olioex.com For more go to secretleaders.com

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more. Today I'm chatting with one of the co-founders, Saasha Celestial-One, on how OLIO grew from an idea into a marketplace saving thousands of food items every week. We also talk about the global food waste crisis and how each of us, as an individual, can reduce the food waste in our home, and in our community, to help fight one of the biggest crises the world faces today. The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state. She’ll be opening a second Hippie Haven in Salem, Oregon in Feb 2021.

Staying healthy and cutting down on waste are key issues in the food industry right now, so of course Sue Nelson and Paul Andrews are keen to discuss all on another topical FoodTalk Show. First things first, do you loathe Lucozade, puke over Powerade or does Gatorade grate on you? The content of sugar in those products probably means you answer a resounding yes to those questions. Step forward Troy Linton and his all-natural Cocoshot health supplement powders. He's giving you energy and keeping you healthy without all the nasties. Moving on, 'tis the season for the sales. If you're heading to London this January, you're bound to stop off in the staple of capital department store shopping, Selfridges. Listen to Adrian Boswell, a buyer at the store, explain what Selfridges are expecting to see in the food industry.  Last of all, how many times have you been seduced by a gorgeous BOGOF deal? Lots of times, of course. The problem is that most of the time we don't need that second freebie and it goes to waste. Saasha Celestial-One (the name is explained in the podcast) came to the studio to help us join the ‘Food Sharing Revolution' with OLIO. There's an app for that…
