Description

Scott jams with Daniel Flynn, co-founder and managing director of one of Australia’s most successful start-ups, Thankyou. It’s a fully for-purpose brand built on bottled water, founded to solve the world’s poverty-related water crisis, that continues to diversify into new products we all use every day to help solve the wider challenge of global extreme poverty. They discuss the decision to no longer sell the bottled water that made them famous, building a brand and business without the limits of business experience and being mission-led. Scott asks about getting shelf-space in supermarkets, the choice between not for profit and partially for profit and the thoughts and challenges around naming a brand Thankyou. Elon Musk, size 14 Nikes and Yeezy also get a mention, along with some hints as to where Thankyou is going next as they move ever closer to their goal of seeing every human free from poverty.
