We just started

Podcast door Despina Gleitsmann

Korea - land of K-drama, K-pop and delicious food. But there's more to it than meets the eye! I’ve met so many interesting people here in Seoul, doing so many incredible things! So I decided that I wanted to pick their wonderful brains, to learn more about them and the cool businesses they’re creating here in Korea and beyond! So, I’ll be interviewing various people (foreigners and Koreans) who are working in the social and sustainability entrepreneurship sphere here, hearing about their highs and lows and what it took to get to where they are now - basically how and why they just started!

Can Biostimulants save the world?

Have you ever heard of the term "biostimulant"? Did you know that actually these tiny organisms could hold the key to saving the environment and potentially...humans as well? Neither did I, until I talked to my friend Marouane Baslam, Founder and CEO of GrowSmart!  Join me on this fascinating talk about Marouane's journey to Korea, and how he's becoming a pioneer in the biostimulants/agriculture field!  Where can you find out more about Marouane?  Website: https://growsmart.bio/ [https://growsmart.bio/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/growsmartkorea/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/growsmartkorea/]  A very special shoutout to Google for Startups Campus in Seoul, South Korea, who have been absolutely incredible throughout my podcasting journey and without whom this would not sound nearly as sharp and crisp as it does now!
