Emma MacGregor reached a point in her life where she had achieved everything that was expected of her.
She went to Uni, she got married, had kids, but had a the lingering feeling that there is more she should do.
Event management is her trade, but after losing her dream job at the beginning of COVID, Emma took matters into her own hands, creating an initiative called the "Out Of Work Bakers" in the local community to help unemployed hospitality and event staff earn a few extra bucks from baking delicious goods while also giving them purpose through lock down.
This lead to the creation of Positive Feeds, a gifting service using local, sustainable products, which gave people a way to both give their clients, staff, or friends something special while supporting local producers, and the environment.
Emma also created Footprint Group Events who's aim is to create amazing events and functions, while using the many years of experience to reduce the environmental impact of grand occasions.
This is a story of resilience, and the drive to build something from day 1, that does some good, even if it's DAMN HARD!!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
