CIRCLA – Claudia Gwinnutt | Take The Plunge Podcast

We were very excited to be joined by Claudia Gwinnutt, Founder and CEO of CIRCLA, for the second instalment of our “Take the Plunge” podcast season 3. CIRCLA are building a place where you can discover brands that are committed to quality and are conscious of their impact on the planet. A space where planet positivity is not something you have to double-check.

Tune in to hear Ciaran and Claudia discuss:

  • Feeling purpose in your work
  • Working in a field you’re not interested in
  • Being a part of an accelerator programme
  • Where CIRCLA is now
