Say Ciao Bella (and Bye Bye Plastic)
Episode 47
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Sage Dobby to explore how innovative thinking can transform everyday products into powerful tools for environmental change. Sage is an entrepreneur, an MA candidate in Social Innovation, and a passionate advocate for sustainability. As the winner of USD’s 7th Annual Fowler Business Concept Challenge, she shares the story behind her venture creating biodegradable, plastic-free hair ties made from discarded pineapple leaves. She discusses the inspiration behind her idea, how the Kroc School has opened doors to new opportunities, and the role of the triple bottom line—people, planet, and profit—in guiding her work. With a background in STEM and a deep love for innovation, Sage is driven by a mission to make the world a more beautiful and sustainable place.Website: ciaobellacollective.comInstagram: @ciao_bella_collectiveFollow Us: https:http://www.instagram.com/krocschool/ Learn more: https://www.linkedin.com/school/krocschool/posts/?feedView=all Reach Out: krocpod@gmail.com
