On this episode of Vermontrepreneur I sit down and talk with Marina McCoy, founder and CEO of Waste Free Earth.
Marina's story is one of extreme highs and lows. As the saying goes, "It's an uphill battle, but we're gaining". Before this Spring, Marina's company was growing. She was adding employees, locking in big clients, and overall her company was on track to have their biggest year yet. And then, Coronavirus.
Waste Free Earth has taken a big hit from the associated economic shutdown. Events across the world are halted, and Marina doesn't think they will return for at least another year and a half. But she's not just going to sit around and wait. In this interview we talk about how she has pivoted her company to serve the needs of small businesses today. We also dive in to the rest of the news Marina has been served this summer, and talk about her strategies for dealing with mental health challenges as a CEO.
