  • #029 Ugo Guaglio – RIFORESTANDO, a Latin adventure into the forests of Argentina
    Nov 27 2024
    Join us for an engaging conversation with Mr. Ugo Quaglino, an accomplished Italian entrepreneur born in Turin in 1966. Influenced by his family's entrepreneurial spirit, Ugo developed a strong work ethic and a love for travel. At 16, after overcoming a brain tumor that took him to Paris for treatment, he joined his father's textile business. By 19, he was expanding the company's international markets and traveling globally.Ugo's career led him and his family to live in Paris and later New Jersey, where he worked in the textile and fashion industry. Always seeking new challenges, he eventually moved to Hong Kong to start a sourcing company. There, he met Anne, his life partner and now wife. They returned to southern France in 2016.Following his father's passing in 2019, Ugo inherited a large ranch in Argentina. In 2023, he and his son Francesco founded RIFORESTANDO, a reforestation and carbon sequestration project. By planting eucalyptus and pine trees on the ranch and using advanced tracking technologies, they offer European companies a transparent way to offset their carbon emissions.Now at 58, Ugo combines his extensive professional experience with his passion for the environment, aiming to create a meaningful legacy that benefits the planet and future generations. This episode is special as it highlights entrepreneurship focused on sustainability—our first "green" episode. Sit back and enjoy this inspiring conversation with the delightful Ugo Quaglino from RIFORESTANDO.CONTACT: ugo.quaglino@riforestando.com www.riforestando.com>>>>SPONSOR<<<

  • #028 Paz Pisarski#2 – The Assumption Black Hole & Crazy Monkeys
    Nov 2 2024
    This is part two, of a four part series (Entrepreneurship.AU Startup Series) where I talk to startups 'in flight' where they are navigating growth and in some cases the chasm of doom. I met with the extraordinary Paz Pisarski in July(2024) when she took me through the beginnings of the Community Collective (TCC) specialising in helping organisations build communities as part of their marketing and community engagement strategies. In this episode we discuss what's happened in the last four months with TCC, and how Paz has been trying to achieve her goals, track meaningful metrics and navigating uncertainty.All entrepreneurs have unique characteristics that set them apart, and Paz is definitely that. She brings her 'A' game to every conversation and delivered some powerful insights and wisdom, decades beyond her years. I think this was the the most fun I've had recording since I started the podcast.Enjoy my discussion with the inspirational Paz Pisarski.(BTW if you have a startup you think we might be interested in, zap me an email at hello@entrepreneurship.au. I'll respond to all emails.)https://entrepreneurship.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Paz-Prod2.mp3
