  • Summary

  • "I learnt there is so much kindness in the world."

    It’s the Christmas Special so we’re joined by the self-made entrepreneur responsible for £100m of gifts to good causes, Mark Constantine OBE.

    Obviously, we’re straight in to advent calendars and mutual admiration for Snickers Bars, before we delve into Mark’s early life experiences, including being made homeless at sixteen and the reasons why LUSH will always accept cash. There’s the journey from Bond Street to Bond Street, styling Anna Wintour and travelling to New York on horseback. We talk through aligning business and environmental philosophies; the tricky business of avoiding the grant-giving process; and who ensures the money ends up in the right hands. We find the entrepreneurial spirit, seek a virtuous circle and bask in the delight of recipriocation.
