Welcome to Sustainability Disruptors, the podcast by Impact Zero. We've got an exciting episode lined up for you, because this week we're talking to Sam Soloway, the co-founder of Planet Pantry in Winnipeg. Sam's a true inspiration, having opened her one-stop refillery during the peak of Covid lockdowns after her career as a theater actor was disrupted in Toronto.

In this episode, we delve into the importance of supporting local businesses, and what it takes to be an integrity-first entrepreneur who's not afraid to make mistakes. Sam's journey is truly remarkable, and her insights are invaluable for anyone interested in sustainability.

Welcome to season 3! Yes, we took a hiatus, but we promise there was a good reason for it!

You see, the only way for us to kick things up a notch was to shake things up. For us, that meant taking some time to gather our thoughts and build up our team. And you know what, we’re so happy we did because now we feel supercharged and ready to launch to a whole new level.

Get ready for adjustments to be made on the fly. We’re talking episode structure, music choices, and more. Things might sound different, but we can assure you that we’re still the same rag-tag show that you’ve come to know and love.

With that, please enjoy our first episode of the new season featuring Chùk Odenigbo!
