The approach to an environmentally sustainable future runs through dangerous territory. Trying to get better, we make things worse. Solving one problem, we create another... and another… how then should green products be designed and introduced?

Today’s episode of the Frontier Entrepreneurship Podcast brings you an in-depth conversation with Morgan Wyatt, PhD in chemical biology and serial innovator. As Tracy characterizes Morgan's entrepreneurial philosophy, he exemplifies trust, a promise and an outlook built on a firm resolve to “stop disrupting nature.” From Greenlid to Botanical Symbiotics to Advanced Biofibre Technologies and more, Morgan’s prolific enviro-entrepreneurial career spans the realms of bio-manufacturing, ag-tech and materials science. Today, Tracy and Braden take you to the frontier of product development for the real circular economy, in conversation with Morgan Wyatt.
