Hey Weirdos!
It's time for another Professional Weirdo! Today, I have the absolute pleasure of introducing an extraordinary woman, Kate, an Eco-chic warrior, who turned a life-changing event into a powerful mission. Five years ago, Kate survived a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage, an experience that made her realise how precious life is and that tomorrow is never promised. This sparked her passion to create Flotsam Flo, inspired by her beloved late Granny Florence, where she upcycles broken wetsuits, lifejackets, inflatables, banners, and other hard-to-recycle materials into stunning, eco-friendly bags and accessories. Kate's incredible work has earned her a Judge's Commendation for Circular Economy at the Cornwall Sustainability Awards, and her commitment to sustainability extends beyond her creations—she also runs workshops to inspire others to think differently about waste.
In this episode, Kate talks about her journey, how tragedy and pain inspired her to grab life by the horns and be her true self, as well as chatting to us about how she gets waste, her process, incredible companies she's partnering with, what she's up to and how she's flying the flag for sustainability. Let’s give a huge welcome to the resilient, innovative, and inspiring Kate!
