From Life-Changing Surgery to Building Sealand | Jasper Eales Interview

disrupt. with Koa Browne

In this episode of disrupt. I sit down with Jasper Eales, designer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Sealand, a globally recognized sustainable brand that’s redefining how we think about materials, design, and conscious business. Jasper’s journey is anything but ordinary.

At just 23, he faced a life-threatening liver transplant, a moment that reshaped his perspective on life, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

That experience, combined with his deep connection to nature, led him to build a company that upcycles waste into high-quality, purpose-driven products. Today, Sealand is a leader in sustainable innovation, but behind the success is a story of resilience, problem-solving, and unconventional thinking.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

🔷 How a medical waste epiphany sparked Sealand’s sustainability mission

🔷 The real challenges of starting a sustainable brand

🔷 Why mindset, resilience, and adaptability are the keys to lasting success

🔷 How Sealand adapted through COVID and global expansion

🔷 The untold struggles of running an eco-conscious business in a profit-driven world 🌍

This is more than a business story—it’s a deep dive into entrepreneurship, sustainability, and the power of perspective.
