Phoenix Rising with Renée Elliott

In this episode , I have the pleasure to interview Renée Elliott, founder of Planet Organic, who, after almost 28 years from its birth, came back to rescue the business she originally created. Planet Organic is one of its kind and  it was the UK's first organic supermarket in 1995.
