Goodbye High School, Hello Uni: Chatting to Teen Entrepreneur Sam Fricker

Sam Fricker stands out from a lot of other 18-year olds. He’s a champion diver on the Australian diving team, and he’s also the founder of the start-up – Tsarian. Selling single-use wheat straws across the world, Sam is working to combat the environmental burden of plastic straws. Deeply passionate about the environment and the human impact we have on it, Sam didn’t wait to make his dreams become a reality, starting his company at just 17.  

Learn more about Sam’s remarkable journey and his plans for the next steps on Goodbye High School, Hello Uni, a podcast series presented by UNSW Sydney and Student Edge that talks to real students about the real experiences on their journey to university.

Sam talks about how his enviro-business came about, why he thinks a Business degree at UNSW will help take his enviro-business to the next level and where he wants his university experience to take him.
