I was recently a guest on , episode 260: “Your Beliefs are your Superpower,” where Amanda and I discuss AI, building a business around your values, how having a brand manifesto (or personal manifesto) acts as a guideline for making decisions based on those values, and how I regularly have conversations with customers about sustainability and slow fashion.
Most often, these conversations begin with the phrase, “They just don’t make things like they used to,” when a customer delights in the quality or unique details of something in the store. Other times, people simply ask me about slow fashion and that’s exactly what happened just days after the episode aired!
It nearly sounds fake, but genuinely happened this way. One of my Summer interns stopped by on her day off with a friend. After introducing us, her friend asked me, “Hey, Belimar tells me you focus on slow fashion. Can you tell me more about it and do you have any tips for living more sustainably?” These slides include many of my responses and more!
