How did this all begin? Paint the scene. Who are you, and what problem or possibility first caught your attention?

When did something click for you? Share that moment when you saw a circular solution -or a new way of thinking- that changed everything.

Every great idea hits a wall. What was yours? Tell us about the hardest technical, operational, or industry challenge you faced. What made it complicated, and what did you learn in the process?

What was happening behind the scenes while you built this? Was there a moment you questioned whether it would work? Share a glimpse of the human side- the doubts, trade-offs, or late nights.

Let’s talk results- big or small. What changed because of your idea?

Do you have any numbers, estimates, or before-and-after results you can share? Even rough numbers or comparisons (“half as much waste”) are helpful. They show your story’s real-world effect. EX: 2,000 pounds of fabric diverted, 30% drop in energy use, etc.

If someone read your story in a classroom or workshop, what would you want them to talk about? Write 2–3 thought-starters that make people think about your experience.

Want to share more? Add links, photos, or short notes. Anything that helps others understand your process or results.
