"That's probably been one of the biggest things about all of this, change
and the unknown. I think for everybody these are things that need to be
embraced, and you've got to suddenly become best friends with the unknown
and with change because that's what's happening" Amanda Blainey talks to
Ben Branson founder of the world's first distilled non-alcoholic spirits,
revolutionising how we drink when we are not drinking and drawing knowledge
and wisdom from his 300-year-old family farming legacy. We discuss how Ben
has rediscovered the simple things in life from his time so far in
Lockdown. We look at how Seedlip evolved from Ben's love of plants, herbs,
and nature. Talking about death is talking about how we want to live, what
inspires us, doing things we love, playing, and building dreams from small
steps. We talk about how Ben would like to be remembered, what his biggest
legacy is, and why its important not to have regrets. Ben's story is a
truly inspiring one.
