Explain your journey from being an engineer to starting Planet Home?

About Planet Home and its Community
Planet home is a non-profit which according to Antony is a contribution of a lot of different people. It has brought different thinkers together and that’s why Antony says that Planet home found him rather than him founding Planet Home.

Students from university write daily for their community as they want them to empower themselves and also get their viewpoint. Antony believes it’s important to take different perspectives. “When you are at the bottom of the hill looking up it looks one way and when they are at the top looking down it looks another way. It makes neither right or wrong, it just means they’re very different perspectives”
