Matter: Microplastics - Macro Visions
Episode description
Besides climate change, the issue of microplastics is one of the biggest environmental challenges facing society.
Passionate to put his engineering talent to use, but unable to find a business that matched the scale of his ambitions, Adam Root founded Matter - a company built on the principle of capturing, harvesting and recycling microplastics.
In conversation with Founded & Grounded, Adam talks passionately about the origins of Matter, and also how he didn't seek to be an entrepreneur - but how entrepreneurship found him. He also discusses how developing and nurturing employees can be a golden opportunity rather than a headache, and ultimately why founders need to "back themselves".
Presented by Andrew Parsonage, with analysis from start-up advisor Ollie Collard and feedback from our Founded & Grounded community courtesy of Samantha Miles.
