Sway co-founder Julia Marsh joins us this week to share how she and her team are uncoupling our reliance on petroleum-based plastic by designing the next generation of packaging. And the secret ingredient? Seaweed.
 
While this might sound like science fiction, the concept came about in a regular household kitchen, when Julia had a kernel of an idea and went to work (or play) experimenting.
 
In this episode, discover how Julia went from cooking in her home to raising $2.5 million in pre-seed funding, used her creative background to tackle a global climate issue, and became a leader in bio-innovation playing to the strengths she already had.
