Jason shares how his team is addressing the massive problem of disposable nappy waste in the South Pacific, where nappies make up 30% of household waste and where both, eco-systems and economies are fragile and at risk of collapse.Their model eliminates plastic waste, creates compost to regenerate soil, and provides jobs for local women. With projects in Samoa, Tuvalu, and soon Belize, Jason's work empowers communities while addressing marine pollution and soil degradation.The discussion dives into systemic barriers like greenwashing, the need for consistent policy support, and the challenges of collaboration in a competitive world.

Cute Alert! Cute Alert! Cute Alert! It started as a simple text to a few dozen dads: --- So … working on a Mother’s Day “Special Edition" of the gDiapers podcast, It Takes a Village to Raise a Parent. I'm asking dads to help me record audio of their kid(dos) answering the following question: What do you love about your mom? You can record on your phone, your laptop, whatever. Oh, and this will be a surprise for the moms … so SHHHHH. Here is what I need: Together (or separate), I need each kid to say their name, their mom's name, and then what they love about their mom. Like this: "Hi. I'm Van. My mom is Kristina Milan. I love my mom because she gives the best snuggles." Record the video then text or email me the video. --- The results were, well, ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. From “she let’s me watch TV” to “she gives the best snuggles” … listen and watch as two dozen+ of the cutest kiddos share what they love about their mom. Watch full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq5I6WVYC4w P.S. It’s not too late to record your own video of your own kiddos and share it with mom! Do it. Now.
Today’s episode is a bit different than the last several, because it’s going to focus on gDiapers, the most eco-friendly diaper out there. If you haven’t heard about them, they’re disposable diaper liners that go into super-cute pants. We’re going to chat with Marta Long and Shelly Yoast, two moms who know a thing or two about fashion. They’re going to talk about style and how gDiapers fits into it. How style changes from trendy to mom-in-her-sweatpants once a baby comes along, even in a very trendy and style-conscious mom. Why a mom might feel just fine about leaving the house not dressed to the nines, and how wearing comfortable clothing can actually be a confidence boost. Some thoughts on how priorities change when a child comes along. How a mom can translate her sense of style to her child’s style with gDiapers. The transition for moms to one child and to two children when it comes to getting dressed and wearing makeup. The mom-bob: What it is and why some moms want it. How Shelley used LuLaRoe leggings to satisfy her sense of style.
Diaper Different Introducing Jason Graham-Nye and gDiapers We all have met (or have been) that first time parent who goes above-and-beyond to do and be the very best for their new bundle of joy; They feed the best food, give all the proper brain stimulation, and give all the love a little one could ask for. However, many of these same people will draw the line when it comes to the choice of whether to use cloth or disposable diapers. One option seems time consuming and gross and the other option can be equally gross and bad for the environment. Luckily, today's Boiling Point guest has a better option, which takes the positives of both previous choices and removes the downside. Jason Graham-Nye is the president and co-founder of gDiapers. Around 15 year ago, Jason and his wife were about to have their first child and realized that as parents they would be leaving this planet to the next generation. It has been said that it takes a diaper 500 years to biodegrade, that there is the equivalent to a cup of oil in each diaper, and 50 million disposable diapers are used every day in the United States. Jason and his wife decided to try a product they found from Tasmania and after being customers they bought the rights to sell it in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Today, gDiapers is a B Corp company that continues to innovate and make a real impact with every newborn they touch. Check out this week's episode to see a great example of a triple bottom line business in action. In this episode Monica Adair is back filling in for Greg Hemmings one more time. We are reminded that Dave will soon have another bundle of joy. Jason introduces himself and we hear how he went from being a Japanese teacher and stockbroker to a diaper baron. Jason gives us the shocking statistics on disposable diapers and exactly how bad they are for our environment. We hear how this business provides both money and meaning to both Jason and his wife. There is a discussion of how parenthood opens up a whole new world of guilt but how gDiapers could save a parent a bit of environmental guilt. Jason tells us how gDiapers and the B Corp philosophy was such a great match. Jason also tells us a brief history on disposable products and why it has taken us so long to come up with a better disposable diaper. We learn how gDiapers redefine convenience and remove guilt for a new parent. Jason also tells us about his innovative gCycle product that is currently in development. We also have a discussion on how and why B Corps can have difficulty finding investment.

Guilt. It’s something that we all experience, but it could be more prevalent once you become a parent. Mom guilt, dad guilt, working parent guilt -- there are more types of guilt than can be named, and most parents feel it at some point! Left unchecked, guilt can build upon itself. The good news is that while you might always experience it to some extent, guilt is a manageable feeling. Kim Graham-Nye, one of the co-founders of GDiapers, talks to us today about the guilt she has as a parent. She still struggles with it, but she’s found ways to deal with it. If you experience guilt, and you probably do, be sure to tune in to learn some strategies for handling it. Some of the highlights of the show include: ● How Kim ended up being a working parent, including her background and early career history and how she got into having her own company. ● When Kim’s mother-guilt took hold and why it became overwhelming. She talks about what she felt guilty about, but as a mom and as a business-owner. ● How leaving her company for a few months gave her needed perspective as far as guilt and family life was concerned. ● Why guilt is universal, particularly among moms and how it does not discriminate between working and stay-at-home parents. ● Kim’s thoughts on work-life balance and why it’s so elusive. ● Why unrealistic expectations can lead to guilt. ● Thoughts on the differences between mommy-guilt and daddy-guilt.
The moment that you get home with your newborn, you’re hit with the feeling that you have no idea what you're doing. Today we’re going to talk to a panel of seasoned moms about what to expect that first night and how to prepare yourself for the reality of being in charge of a brand new baby, especially if it’s your first time. No one really prepares you for how you will feel, and of course it’s different for everyone. So if you’re going to be bringing home a baby soon, you won’t want to listen to this informative and entertaining discussion! Our speakers today are Christine, a PICU nurse and mom of four boys ages five and under; Ashley, who is the community manager at GDiapers and the mom of a nine-year-old and a toddler; and Rachel, a new mom to a baby girl. Some of the topics you’ll hear about include: Advice on how to prepare for the big day when you bring home your baby. The moment that Christine felt like she could really handle having a baby. How moms and dads might prepare the second time around and how bringing home a second baby differs from bringing home the first baby. Ashley describes the first day after bringing her first baby home, when reality set in. How Rachel’s premature delivery and post-birth complications made the transition to home a bit less settled than it would have been if the baby had waited until her due date. What worked for each of the moms when it came to those first days at home.
Welcome to It Takes a Village to Raise a Parent, the podcast by Kim and Jason, the same people behind gDiapers, the diaper that’s different by design. You’ll hear from other parents, get actionable tips, and learn to be a better parent. Up to now, most parenting podcasts are about children, but there aren’t a lot of resources centered around nurturing parents. On today’s episode, you’ll meet DJ, the host of the new podcast. He’ll talk a bit about his family and his philosophy on parenting. He will also share his hopes for the podcast how he hopes to achieve them. We’re glad you’re here, and we hope you stop back regularly for more episodes! Links: The gDiapers Podcast The Minimalists Podcast
