Episode 149: The Power of Composting & Turning Habits into Businesses with Monique Figueiredo
“Waste is a human invention. It’s not something the planet ever had. Composting is the way the planet deals with so-called waste. ”
Today we get to talk about DIRT, well technically soil, with Mo Figueiredo, the founder of Compostable LA, a community based composting company. She never imagined she'd be an entrepreneur, let alone having a business in composting and yet, in this episode we discuss why it matters so much and how it’s checking all her boxes for fulfillment and purpose. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed chatting with her.
