#97 - How to win the fight against plastic waste with Boris Jebsen

Every year we produce almost 400 million tons of plastic.
According to some estimates as much as 50% of this is single-use.
And once this plastic ends up in the bin only 10% is recycled.
Entrepreneur Boris Jebsen realised that something has to change if we are to avoid irreversible damage to our planet. Having founded one of the largest tech conferences in the world, with a presence in 26 locations worldwide, he’s no stranger to single-use plastics. From packaging to disposable forks, he spent years watching waste pile up.
But he’d had enough of this throwaway culture. With his latest venture 1less, Boris is using smart technology to establish circular economies for events. The goal driving this: helping to minimise plastic waste in professional settings.

#99 - Turning a newsletter into a 1 million strong community with Max Rofagha

How can you quickly grow an engaged community for your business?

Founder Maximilian Rofagha might just have the answer.

He’s the brains behind finimize, a fintech company which quickly grew from a bare-bones newsletter to a 1 million strong community.

In 2016 Max was looking to invest a chunk of cash. But he quickly realised that the world of finance was daunting – particularly for young people. So, he set out to build a platform which helps people invest independently and with confidence.

At the beginning finimize was just a newsletter. Then came small online events. And this quickly grew into one of the world’s most successful finance communities.
