What does it take to build a thriving community-driven business? I speak with Rollo Millership, a visionary entrepreneur, community advocate, and the founder of Nourished Communities, a business committed to transforming ordinary local shopping into extraordinary community-led experiences. Rollo tells me about his mission to build strong communities around local producers, promote sustainable food systems, and make wholesome food accessible to all. We'll delve into Rollo’s thoughts on leadership, from the power of saying no, and forcing people (and yourself) off the clock. Rollo’s business is all about fostering meaningful connections, sustainability, and getting people to love food again, so if that’s something you’re interested in, this episode is a must watch.
