Guest: Alfred Phua, Founder, Vanilla Impact Story
Heirloom vanilla once grew in Malaysia, and Alfred Phua is on a mission to bring it back. Through Vanilla Impact Story, he’s building more than just a business — he’s restoring a forgotten crop, empowering rural farmers, and preserving a slice of agricultural heritage.
In this episode, Alfred shares what drew him to vanilla, what it really took to get the business off the ground, and why he believes storytelling is just as powerful as farming in creating lasting impact. It’s a conversation about purpose, patience, and turning one spice into a social movement.
Presenter: Richard Bradbury
