103: Changing the World with Sheets and Giggles by Colin McIntosh

"Even if you have a lot of passion, you have to build a business that works, a business model that scales… You have to build something before you can continue to help others on a larger scale." -Colin McIntosh

Founded in 2017 by Colin McIntosh, Sheets & Giggles is a company that manufactures sustainable beddings from high-quality Eucalyptus wood pulp.
