The need to reconnect to water and rebrand the ‘Big Blue'… World Ocean Day falls on June 8th and for those who haven't heard of this event, it's about “catalyzing collective action for a healthy ocean and a stable climate”. The ocean's role is one of the most important there is, and, water security is a real concern. But, to make such events successful in reaching global goals and targets around our oceans and water, we have to take notice, understand the challenges we face and importantly, be prepared to take action. We met with Amanda Horn, a brand marketer who fell in love with water and found a deep connection, which as she shares in this episode, changed so many areas of her life personally and, professionally when she turned her passion into a circular business looking to solve problems in the beauty industry, with water at the heart. Amanda is a strong advocate for protecting water, raising awareness of the challenges and opportunities and as she says, ‘rebranding big blue'. Water conservation – Ocean conservation – plastic solutions - waste - water consumption – they are all connected and we have to take responsibility for them, and more importantly understand the challenges and how our behaviors and choices either speed up progress, or slow it down. When Amanda began her journey to build a responsible brand, she didn't realise how epic it would be at every single stage. She shares her learnings from the resources needed, commercial understanding, packaging needs, materials sourcing, collaboration and co-creation and what happens at the end of life of her product to make it truly circular. Join us on this episode as we talk to Amanda about: The power of connecting with water and the parallels between humans and the ocean. The importance of ocean literacy in meeting the global goal of protecting 30% of the world's ocean by 2030. The need to protect water at all costs through increasing our knowledge and conversations around what it is the most important resource we have. The “10 Challenges of the Decade”. How Marketers can make connections through story and emotion as Amanda puts it – “Rebranding the big blue”. Evolving her passion into a circular business – and how understanding every stage of the product lifecycle is critical to not only the product but the story. And here's a rallying call to action for you, our listener to get involved: World Ocean Day https://worldoceanday.org/about/ in the lead up to World Ocean Day, explore and see what you can do. Amanda also shares her tips! World Ocean Week https://oceanweekcan.ca/ if you're in Canada, then you have Ocean Week, which is a public celebration of the ocean from coast to coast. Wherever you are, even if you are nowhere near a body of water, it is connected to your life, so commit to understanding a bit more, raising your awareness and taking steps to be part of the solution.

Angel Marie and Kevin cover the Weekly Rundown followed by an in-depth interview with Founder of Gold and Water Co. Chartel.
Josh White, Co-founder of CanO Water, launched the brand after returning from a holiday in Thailand where they had been inspired to drive change after seeing the dire state of plastic bottles lining the beach and what started out as an eye-opening trip abroad became a mission to reduce single use plastic. Since launching in 2015, CanO Water has sold over 15 million cans in the UK and Ireland. Propelled by increasing consumer demand for more sustainable alternatives to plastic bottled water, CanO Water has built a national presence across multiple channels in the UK and Ireland, continuing its growth in new territories as the plastic problem becomes more globally recognised. Cut to 2022 and the brand is experiencing another exciting chapter with a seven-figure investment secured to drive the brand's already exponential growth & a new Non-Exec Chairman, the former European President at Heineken. In this podcast Oliver Bruce asks, how do you launch a brand when people don't believe in it for the first three years and how to trust your vision and remain tenacious in the pursuit of success?

In this episode, Kurt & Di speak to a former DJ who co-founded an eco-business after witnessing the devastating effect plastic waste was having on the beaches of Thailand: One of Forbes 30 under 30, Co-Founder of CanO Water, Josh White. They talk about Josh's journey to creation of water in a can, the wider conversation around plastic pollution and why any eco-business must be realistic; understanding that the nature of convenience and the mindset of the average person affects their ability to be eco-friendly. KEY TAKEAWAYS Josh was previously a DJ but it was when he was travelling in Thailand with his two friends and saw the amount of plastic waste on almost every beach they went to that was the catalyst for change for him. Big brands the and his friends grew up loving were polluting these beaches. They wanted to know how and why this was happening and set out to change things. So, the three of them put water in a can! When they first came home from Thailand, they went back to their ‘normal lives' but they couldn't forget about what they had seen, they felt like they had to do something. Josh and his co-founders understood that tap water is best but recognised that it couldn't be the only solution. There are always instances when we need water and a tap isn't available. They researched using cans as this was the best on-the-go alternative to plastic. The infrastructure was already there and they are infinitely recyclable. They recognised the reality of the world and that convenience will always be a part of that. Josh has always cared about the environment but didn't think it was something he would go into in a big way. It was the sheer shock of what he saw in Thailand that changed his mind set and put pollution firmly on his radar. He was part of the problem before and now he is trying to be part of the solution. Josh's entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic came from his Dad's values and ethos. It was instilled in him at a young age and is something that pushes him forwards in all aspects of his life now. Being named one of Forbes Under 30 was an incredible moment for Josh, he never thought he would receive this. It gave the business an opportunity to be taken more seriously, especially as in the beginning it was looked at as a ‘fad' rather than innovation. In the early days, Josh was told he would never get CanO Water into Tesco. They were wrong and this is one of Josh's proudest achievements, having his local shop selling his creation. Launching a product in the food and drink industry is extremely challenging. Josh's advice for anyone wanting to do this is to not give up, lots of people will tell you to quit but don't listen. If you believe in yourself and in your brand, you just have to keep going. BEST MOMENTS “We're very curious boys who wanted to make a difference” “The three of us became obsessed with trying to solve the problem of pollution” “Tap water can't be the only option” “What is the best on the go alternative that can compete against plastic?” “That obsession of wanting to be the best has always propelled me” “A lot of people don't want to be the first but Forbes under 30 showed a lot of people that CanO Water is here to stay” ABOUT THE GUEST Josh White Co-founder of CanO Water, the eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottled water. https://uk.linkedin.com/in/josh-white-78b56b9a https://canowater.com ABOUT THE HOST Kurt Wilson - Entrepreneur, Internet Veteran and Property Investor with multiple 7 figure businesses and property investments in the UK, GI, LT, BY and GR.

This week we have a very special episode, and it’s a must-listen. Our guest is Steven Yeng, the co-founder of OB Noodle House, The Holding Company and Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, which launched nationally and will be available in all 50 states by the end of this month. Steven is a Cambodian-born immigrant and polio survivor, and he grew up in Ocean Beach, where he met his now-wife, Brittany. He’s known in the community for his philanthropy, and last year he won the Humanitarian of the Year award from the Ocean Beach Town Council. Steven shared his origin story with us, and it’s harrowing: His family had to flee Cambodia to escape the Khmer Rouge, and they spent four years in a refugee camp in Thailand before they made it to the U.S., settling in Ocean Beach. We learn how Steven’s parents starting working at and eventually bought OB Donuts, and the backstory to Steven and his brother opening OB Noodle House. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is Steven’s latest venture, which he co-founded with Brittany, who has a master’s degree in chemistry. Steven tells us that peanut butter has a special place in his heart, because it’s one of the first foods he was introduced to when he arrived in the U.S. David’s 60-second beer review this week is Pedaleur, a limited edition session IPA collaboration brew from Rouleur Brewing Company. It supports Padres Pedal the Cause, a leading nonprofit that raises money for cancer research organizations throughout San Diego. For Two People, $50, Steven chose a gathering of street food vendors stationed at the Wat Sovannkiri Buddhist temple in City Heights. He said it’s a great place to pick up some yakitori and papaya salad, and your money goes to helping those in need. Lauren’s pick this week was Anime, where she tasted several of their appetizers. And Troy’s pick this week was the mango habanero and chipotle hot wings at Buffalo Wing Star in Linda Vista. In Hot Plates, we talked about two recent restaurant closings: The Land & Water Co. in Carlsbad and Oscar's Mexican Seafood in the East Village. We also talked about “Wasted,” an event where 35 local and national chefs and bartenders are challenged to prepare dishes and cocktails using food that might otherwise be thrown away. There was also a lot of chicken news this week: Dave's Hot Chicken is expanding from Los Angeles and opening in San Diego, and Pluck just opened in Carlsbad. This is perfect timing because Troy is currently on the hunt for the best chicken wings in San Diego. Thanks for listening, and we’d love to hear from you!
