Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Dwayne Martens is the founder and CEO of Amazonia, an incredibly successful health food and supplement company that he started in a juice stall in the Fremantle markets - and is now worth eight figures. Dwayne is a brilliant CEO, a super successful manager, expert marketer and forward-thinking leader. His view on the place he and his company have in the market is unique. He's pioneering a conscious form of commerce that empowers people all the way down the supply chain, advocating and demonstrating different forms of agriculture outside of the monocultural harvesting we see now, and going his part to help people eat better, live better and in his words Shine Brighter.  But Dwayne's story is something that reads like a movie. From losing his home in South Africa due to unrest, to losing himself on the island of Ibiza, Dwayne had a crystal clear vision of where his life was headed - hit the brakes and began again on the path that's made him one of the youngest and most successful CEOs in the country. Oh, and he also lives in a Teepee.  So come to my kitchen in Bronte beach in Sydney for a conversation that will leave you absolutely inspired. It's also a conversation you'll need a piece of paper and a pen for at the end. I hope you enjoy this chat with Dwayne Martens.   Hosted on Acast.
