The Small Business Sessions, Enterprise Nation's podcast, is back for a eighth exciting series of inspiring entrepreneurial stories and expert business tips!
The podcast is powered by the business.connected online training programme and our partners Vodafone Business, Constant Contact, JP Morgan and Dropbox.
Joining freelance journalist Dan Martin for the seventh episode is Saasha Celestial-One, co-founder of local sharing app Olio.
The idea for Saasha's groundbreaking business came about when her business partner Tessa Clarke trawled the streets looking for someone who might be able to use her spare food when she was moving house.
The two friends tested their solution in a WhatsApp group for neighbours in North London, and it's now an app used by millions around the world for finding what they need and sharing what they don't with local people.
In an inspiring episode, Saasha and Dan discuss topics including:
tips for growing a successful app
how to use business to benefit the environment
the UK as a good place to grow a technology company
how Saasha funded the company
running a business with a co-founder
how to build partnerships with big organisations
how businesses can continue to innovate
You can also listen on other platforms and Enterprise Nation.
