Ep. 48 - Learning from John Engelander - What Matters?

Life Long Learner

Gines is joined by John Engelander, the founder and CEO of Planet Earth Cleaning, out of the box thinker, a piano player, a mountain bike rider, and an avid storyteller.

Planet Earth is a cleaning company with a difference. Planet Earth CLeaning is the Australia's first Eco-Friendly commercial cleaning company.

John shares the inception story of Planet Earth, when he stepped in to do some cleaning and realised the toxicity of the chemicals that were used.

An important lesson he learned ‘owning the brand,’ coupled with know where the market is. Passion is one thing, but couple that with where there is a market for it. If there is no market for it, then it may not be sustainable.

Gines and John explore why the sustainability movement is louder than ever, and why some companies are adopting this for multiple reasons.

The current culture of consumerism and ‘keeping up with Jones’

“Swap out,” swap things that don’t make it matter.

“Things that matter most should not be at the mercy of things that matter least.”

This thought-provoking episode will make you think about what matters and maybe swapping behaviours that may better serve you.
