When was the last time you let an idea take you on a journey? It seems strange, but the truth is, people, do it all of the time! While they may not say that they are chasing an idea or a dream – we all know those big ideas are what get people moving. Trace had spent years travelling around Asia when he started noticing a common snack – shiitake mushroom chips. What if this snack could be brought to a wider audience? Trace decided to follow his idea for more sustainable snacks which led him to start MudLrk.
