Building The UK’s Fastest Growing Soft Drinks Brand with Olivia Ferdi, Co-Founder of TRIP

“You need to recognise that your mental health is a muscle and it’s not a case of doing a 30 day cleanse and mediations and you’re all good. That’s not how it works.” What started off as a new way to eliminate the daily stresses of life in the city, turned into the UK’s favourite soft drinks brand. This week’s 40 Minute Mentor is Olivia Ferdi, the Co-Founder of popular CBD brand, TRIP. Coming from a law background, there were plenty of early stage challenges Olivia and her Co-Founder and husband, Dan, faced together and we loved learning more about their journey in today’s episode.
