EVRNU: Stacy Flynn
🎵Prince, ♻️Unf*cking Textiles, 🏌️♂️Happy Gilmore, 🤪 the Joys of Being a Founder and 💥Oh So Much More
Fellow Climate Warriors, welcome to another episode of Climate Tech Cocktails!
Matt welcomes Stacy Flynn, CEO & Co-Founder at EVRNU, to the podcast this week to enjoy some delectable Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs, and to discuss everything from Happy Gilmore and Prince to the ways in which her company is reshaping fashion's environmental impact. Together, they review Stacy’s unique career trajectory and how it has led to her co-founding EVRNU - an industry leader that is “converting textile waste materials into ‘new’ engineered fibers, which can be recycled again and again.”
