(14) Mary Kissel critiques U.S.-China relations, arguing that Beijing is a totalitarian enemy. She advocates for strategic decoupling and realistic planning, rather than hoping for fair trade or stability from the current Chinese regime.NETHERLANDS

Eine der wohl schönsten und klügsten Lebensweisheiten stammt von Sören Kierkegaard, wird häufig zitiert und lautet, frei übersetzt: Man könne das Leben nur vorwärts leben und nur rückwärts verstehen. Bestimmt empfindet das auch unser heutiger Gast so. Eigentlich war ja alles perfekt, vom Ende her gedacht: zwei gesunde Kinder, eine glückliche Ehe, tolle Jobs mit toller Bezahlung, ein Traumhaus. Und dann flog dieses Gefüge in die Luft, öffentlich, denn öffentlich entstand es auch. Schließlich ist Marie Nasemann als Podcasterin, Schauspielerin und Unternehmerin auch eine öffentliche Person - eine Influencerin, die sich seit vielen Jahren für nachhaltige Mode, Fairtrade und Gleichstellung einsetzt. Ihr Leben begann 1989 bei München, wo sie auch aufwuchs. Beruflich startete Marie 2009 auf dem Runway, sie kam ins Finale von Germany's Next Topmodel und blieb seither für viele Menschen eine Person, der man gerne beim Leben zuschaut. Wir sind gespannt auf die Geschichten aus diesem Leben und natürlich - auf die Musik, die darin eine Rolle spielt.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #13 will take you into the room where Ken Starr was the guest speaker to a group of interested winery owners and personnel to discuss the next steps to take just 90 days after the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Granholm v Heald that opened up direct shipping of wine from the producer to the consumer in most of this country back in 2005.I was a participant at this luncheon, albeit reluctant at first, as I was six weeks into my recovery from a heart attack and a 5-level bypass surgery. But, I became active and found myself taking charge as the majority of the winery personnel in the room stayed on the sidelines when Ken Starr was explaining he believed that the Federal Trade Commission would be willing to go further to help knock down more of the anti-competitive barriers that wineries still faced as a vestige of the post-prohibition era.I stood up and started speaking when I should have stayed seated. But I couldn't let this opportunity to take on Franchise Laws pass us by. I ended up founding an organization I named Wine Free Trade Coalition, or W FTC if you will to establish a 501 (c6) non-profit organization to fund the effort. Take a listen.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

Fairtrade Africa's DONUTS programme, led by Thomas Mukhebi, is diving into the “uncomfortable spaces” that audits can't reach, such as financial inclusion and social equity.

Getting your coffee tomorrow is not a given. Behind everyday products like coffee, bananas, and cocoa lies a global trading system under pressure. A pressure shaped by climate change, economic uncertainty, and growing inequality. The need to change how we value our food is urgent or we risk our daily coffee, and midmorning snack. Listen in to this podcast episode to hear from Social Impact Pioneer Marike Runneboom de Peña, Interim CEO of Fairtrade International, about why this moment is a turning point for fair trade and global supply chains. From sociologist to co-founder of a banana cooperative with over 200 members in the Dominican Republic, Marike is now the interim leader of Fairtrade International. March 2026 is important for Fairtrade as they launch a new Global Strategy 2026–2028, focusing on three urgent priorities: sustainable livelihoods for farmers and workers; resilient and fair supply chains; and a stronger collective commitment to ethical and sustainable trade. Listen in as, together, we explore: · Why fair trade is more critical than ever in today's volatile global economy · The real challenges farmers face, from low prices and unfair trading practices to climate change · How Fairtrade's new strategy aims to create long-term resilience and equity in global supply chains · What businesses, policymakers, and consumers must do to support fair and sustainable trade In addition, hear from Marike as she shares her personal journey, from working directly with farming communities to stepping into a global leadership role. Learn about motivation, perseverance, and focus. This podcast conversation is grounded in the devastating impacts of an unequal trading system and the resilience of farmers determined to overcome them. This conversation challenges the idea that sustainability is optional. As Marike explains, “Fairer trade is not just a future goal, it's a shared responsibility.” Without meaningful action, we risk a very near future where farming becomes unsustainable, supply chains break down, and essential products disappear from our shelves. If you're interested in sustainability, ethical business, global trade, or the future of food systems, this episode is essential listening. Because when trade doesn't work for farmers and workers, it doesn't work for anyone. www.fairtrade.net Our strategy riskmap.fairtrade.net

In this episode of FAIR Talks, Becca sits down with Karin Gardner, Vice President of Marketing at Oppy, to explore the stories behind the produce we buy every day, from global supply chains to deeply personal moments that highlight the people who grow, harvest, and pack our food. One story in particular stands out, as a father shares that through Fair Trade premiums he was able to bring warm water into his home for the first time and give his children a warm bath, a powerful reminder that even the smallest choices we make as consumers can ripple into something much bigger. As we reflect on National Farmworker Awareness Week, this conversation invites us to pause, look closer at the food we buy, and truly see the people behind it. Learn more at oppy.com.

From a devout Catholic childhood in Brooklyn to the hard questions of identity, addiction, and faith, Mary Cusack's story is one of honesty, struggle, and remarkable resilience. In this deeply personal conversation with host, Robin Linkhart, Mary reflects on growing up surrounded by the rituals and beauty of Catholic devotion while wrestling with the painful belief that who she was might be incompatible with the God she loved.  Her journey reveals how faith can endure—even when everything you thought you knew about God must be torn down and rebuilt. This is part one of a powerful story of survival, grace, and the relentless search for a God who meets us in the deepest places of our lives. Listen to other episodes in the Fair Trade series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Sri Lanka, Ukraine, South Sudan, Haiti, Greece, Zambia, The Latin America Lost Decade… prepare yourselves for a lesson in history . And in geography. And in (ew) economics! Today, we're talking about debt. You might not know it, but the world is in a spiralling global debt crisis. On average, low-income countries spend about a fifth of their entire national budget paying off foreign debt. To put that number into perspective, in 2014, it was just 5%. 3 billion people live in countries that spend more on interest payments than education or health. And who are these interest payments going to? Bankers, billionaires, and the world's wealthiest countries — incidentally, often former colonisers. This is not the story we get told in the media. So to tell us the first-hand human impact of global debt – which is inextricably linked to the climate crisis – we are joined by one of Zambia's most prominent debt cancellation and climate activists, Precious Kolbwana.

This is a bit of an unusual conversation for Theology on Air, but it is especially relevant. America is living through - whether they like it or not - an economic shift away from "Free Trade" dogma towards "Fair Trade" dogma. Think of something like tariffs for fair trade and a desire for the lowest price for consumers in the free trade camp. Both ideas have their merit and both have been debated since the founding of America. But which is right? Thanks to Ken Cowan and Brian Lantz for debating this important topic!

In this resurfaced 2019 conversation, Ryan Honeyman speaks with Vincent Stanley, Director of Philosophy at Patagonia, about what it really takes to operationalize values at scale. The discussion covers KPIs, pricing, materials, fair trade labor, transparency, repair, and the internal systems Patagonia uses to stay accountable as it grows. Vincent also explains how Patagonia's benefit corporation structure, reporting tools, and employee practices translate purpose into day-to-day decisions.View the show notes: https://go.lifteconomy.com/blog/patagonia-case-study-4-of-4-operationsCertifying as a B Corp is only the beginning.

Gage shares his best practices for attending Natural Products Expo West – the biggest trade show in the United States for the better-for-the-world product industry! Tune in to hear 10 tips for making the most of the show, based on Gage's ~15 years of experience attending Expo West as a brand, packaging, booth, and campaign designer who's helped some of the industry most beloved brands stand out at the show. Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO.

What if we could recycle just half of the plastic currently going to landfills?The answer: 173,000 new jobs, nearly $50 billion in economic output, and a stronger American manufacturing base.In this episode of Sustainably Speaking, host Mia Quinn welcomes back Ross Eisenberg, president of America's Plastic Makers, for a wide-ranging conversation on why recycling is no longer just an environmental issue—it's an economic and manufacturing opportunity hiding in plain sight.Ross highlights what's actually working in recycling today, from large-scale facilities turning plastic  into new products to advanced technologies that can recover materials once thought to be unrecyclable. He explains why the idea that “recycling doesn't work” is one of the biggest myths holding back progress.The conversation also tackles the policy choices shaping the future of recycling, including:Why flexible, technology-neutral policies matter more than one-size-fits-all mandatesHow mass balance works (and why it's similar to Fair Trade coffee)What states are getting right—and wrong—on Extended Producer ResponsibilityWhy a federal definition of advanced recycling as manufacturing could unlock investment nationwideLooking ahead, Ross shares what success could look like, from scaling U.S. recycling infrastructure to reaching a global plastics agreement that expands access to waste management for billions of people worldwide.And yes, there's some fun along the way…from K-pop playlists to shark diving and guilty-pleasure reality TV.

Patagonia has long stood as the north star for companies striving to create meaningful impact and proving that business can thrive with purpose. Today, Patagonia stands alone in its ownership model: it has one shareholder—the planet. Instead of “going public,” Patagonia famously “went purpose,” restructuring in 2022 so that 100% of its voting stock flows into the Patagonia Purpose Trust to guard its values, and 100% of its non-voting stock now supports the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit fighting the environmental crisis. Each year, every dollar not needed to run the business moves directly to protecting nature. It's a business that invites people into the beauty of the outdoors while safeguarding the planet that makes those adventures possible.We invited Vincent Stanley, Director of Philosophy at Patagonia—and one of its very first employees—to reflect on the decades of learning, experimentation, humility, and courage that shaped Patagonia's journey. Vincent explores topics from the company's early fiber-to-farm revelations and culture-defining philosophy classes, to its iconic “Don't Buy This Jacket” campaign, industry-shaping activism, and bold ownership redesign. For any leader or organization seeking to deepen its impact, Vincent offers rare insights into what it truly takes to build a business where profit becomes a byproduct of purpose.Listen for insights on:Transforming harm discovery into long-term environmental innovationChallenging consumerism through bold, values-led storytellingBuilding company culture through shared responsibility and lived valuesCollaborating across industries to advance standards and certificationsResources + Links:Watch this episode on YouTubeVincent StanleyPatagonia's OwnershipThe Responsible CompanyPatagonia Action Works (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (01:07) - Meet Vincent Stanley, Patagonia (04:26) - Vincent's Background (07:55) - Director of Philosophy (10:37) - Company Ethos (11:57) - If Nature Could Talk (13:15) - Pivot Points (15:58) - Seeing the Fields (17:32) - Role as Storyteller (21:10) - Black Friday (24:50) - Quality Is an Environmental Issue (27:03) - Fair Trade and Culture (31:12) - Showing Authenticity (32:45) - Patagonia Action Works (33:42) - Change in Ownership (36:32) - Feelings at the Time (37:22) - Message to Future Leaders (39:40) - Last Words (41:07) - Wrap Up

Coffee is "the ExxonMobil of beverages" — environmentally brutal at industrial scale.The coffee industry exploits workers through child labor and modern slavery, even at major brands like Starbucks and Nespresso. Your $6 latte has some dark supply chain secrets.Health effects are a mixed bag — potential liver benefits vs. stomach lining damage, anxiety spikes, and sleep disruption.
