Join Erin Andrews as she chats with Kristen Hosick, the Owner of Front Porch Refillery. She shares with us what it's like to actually own not just a small circular business, but one that she runs on the side of being a nurse and mom of two small children!

Together we talk about why she started Front Porch Refillery, from learning that only 9% of all plastic produced in Canada has ever been recycled, to driving around York Region filling up containers herself! We go right into what the difficulties are owning a small business, from mindset to community - and ways that individuals can support the movement by using what they have before buying new.
