Three leading vegan and plant-based entrepreneurs in Sydney, Australia, joined host Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, to find out what it really takes to run a business on these principles, the latest trends in the sector, and much more.
Among the topics discussed:
• What impact multinationals bringing out their own vegan or plant-based products is having on their business (and why they think it’s a good thing)
• What it’s really like to work with retailers, including hidden costs you may not be aware of
• The biggest mistake they’ve made in their businesses
• And much more
