Sally Wynter - MUHU Spirits

This is the amazing story of how a young female entrepreneur turned an idea on the beach into a ground-breaking reality. 

Sally Wynter founded the UK's first CBD-infused Gin company, MUHU Spirits,  and bootstrapped her way into one of the most inspiring entrepreneurial stories of the last few years.

This is Sally's first-ever interview about how she did it and it's a really heartfelt discussion about the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur.
