Watching panicked consumers clear the supermarket shelves ignited an idea for Carolyn Creswell.  

If toilet paper was flying off the shelves in aisle eight, would muesli bars in aisle three be the next must-have item? 

The Carman’s founder made the decision to increase her stock holdings in the face of huge uncertainty. 

Will the risky decision pay dividends for the muesli mogul this time? 

Carolyn shares how she’s been batting away curveballs her whole life, including a major health scare and now running her company from home – under lockdown.
