How To Be Sound

  Gabbi Loedolff of Lush is the guest on this episode of How to be Sound. Read her impressive LinkedIn CV here - and shop from Lush here. Follow Gabbi on Instagram @gabbiloe.    (I'm not talking TOTAL sh1t: there really is a Spice Bus!)   The Lush Showcase is amazing - and bizarre. Here's the website.   Here's an interesting feature in the Guardian on Lush founder Mark Constantine.   Buy a Keepcup (or five) or a Stojo so you can be just like me! And while you're at it, go the whole hog and get a bamboo toothbrush.   Watch Gabbi's talk on blockchain and cryptocurrencies for retail here.    I talk about Fan Bingbing's social rating / currency - she's reappeared anyway, but you can read about China's social rating system here.   Lush's journey to removing mica - and replacing it with a synthetic equivalent - from its products is detailed here.   ***   If you're buying from Amazon, I would really appreciate it if you'd use my affiliate link.
