My next guest on A Little Foresight, Jamie Crummie trained as a lawyer and worked for Amnesty before pursuing his mission of fighting food waste. Jamie is the co-founder of Too Good To Go, the world’s largest marketplace for surplus food. He's a second generation Irishman with a proud lineage. He was named a Trailblazing Activist in the 50 Next class of 2021, One Young World’s Entrepreneur of the Year in August 2020, one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Europe in February 2019 and was shortlisted for the Entrepreneur For Good Award at the Natwest Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2019.
Jamie chats to me about how his families support and passion helped fuel his activism. They taught him to follow the things you are passionate about and fight for the causes you care about.
How much he believes in the 'pester power' of kids with their parents and how impressed he was with the youth activism at COP 26. But also about his disillusion about how food waste wasn't part of the main discussion at COP.
He speaks about the importance of having a friendship network.
How he feels you should keep learning for self improvement.
How he feels his dyslexia means he thinks about things from a different angle.
A great piece of advice Jamie gave is how you should remove your ego from things. Try to make decisions not just about you but see the bigger picture.
How he would tell his younger self to keep persevering, to keep cracking on.
