NIPSA's Deputy General Secretary Patrick Mulholland talks to Nolan.

My guest today, Sonia Strobel, is here to explore the idea of community-supported fisheries. Sonia is co-founder and CEO of Skipper Otto, a Community Supported Fishery based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Through her innovative, sustainable seafood subscription model, members pre-purchase a share in the catch before the fishing season. This unique partnership between fishers and consumers guarantees harvesters a fair price for their catch, protects a traditional way of life in BC's coastal and Indigenous fishing communities, and disrupts a seafood system fraught with social and environmental injustice. Skipper Otto is a certified B Corp and certified Living Wage employer. They educate consumers about important issues in fisheries and the value of eating with the ecosystem while advocating for just policy reform. Today, we discuss these vital themes, and Sonia shares stories from her own family's fishery as well as the additional challenges faced by Indigenous-owned fisheries in Canada. We speak about some of the main challenges facing the seafood industry in Canada amidst climate change and American tariffs, how Skipper Otto is navigating these challenges to support their fishing families, the proactive measures they are taking to increase transparency and build more sustainable fishery management, and considerations that the public should bring with them the next time they're seeking out fish foods for dinner.  Resources:  Skipper Otto Website Instagram: @skipperotto

Is the world on track to achieving living wages? In this episode of the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Petter Forslund, Engagement Manager at AP2, Sweden's second national pension fund, and Steering Committee Member of the Platform Living Wage Financials, an investor coalition that supports companies in providing living wages in global supply chains. Together they assessed to what extent there has been global improvement in firms paying a living wage, as well as why investors should help to drive social standards in companies and their supply chains. You'll also hear more about: The Platform Living Wage Financials' Benchmark on company performance on living wages, including its main findings   How the Platform prioritises dialogue when engaging with companies, only using divestment as the final option  The reasons behind the ongoing need for changes in methodology around the living wage The weaknesses in the social auditing process, and how the Platform is working to improve it The issue of adequate wages in the revised European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and how it discriminates against non-EU workers The Sweden perspective on the debate on sustainability and fiduciary duty  Listen in and follow us on LinkedIn and Youtube!

Jesus described the Kingdom of Heaven as a man who paid his workers a living wage...Really. But what on earth did he mean by that? And why is it so hard for us to understand it?We cover all that (and more!) In this week's shared examination of one of the crazy stories Jesus told. 

Can you pay a decent year-round salary to farm workers, enough to go to a bank, get a mortgage, and still not charge prices that make your produce accessible only to the happy few? What do vibrations, pest management, nutrient density, and processing have to do with it?With Nicola Giuggioli we walk the Quintosapore land, on a hilly but stunning landscape in the green heart of Italy, Umbria, where GPS auto-steer tractors don't exist because simply keeping the tractor in a straight line without slipping down the hill is already an achievement. Quinto Sapore is new farm, only 5 years old and 2.5 years into serious business, but it is making huge steps. They are building a brand, paying attention to revenue and costs, measuring nutrient density, and paying living year-round wages. For the past few years, they've been going very deep into the next frontier of agriculture: vibrations, frequencies, and more. In this episode we cover it all: seeds, living wages, trying to intervene as little as possible, quantum agriculture and transformation, and processing.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Do you have a heart for change but find that the loud, confrontational, and extroverted norms of traditional activism don't suit your natural temperament? In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I talk with Sarah P Corbett, the award-winning activist, author, and founder of the Craftivist Collective. I've been following Sarah for years on Instagram, and after seeing she was Craftivist in Residence at Greenbelt Festival, I thought I'd reach out and see if she fancied a chat. This episode works as a companion piece to my conversation with Dorcas Cheng-Tozun, author of Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul, which includes quotes from Sarah (something I only realised later!). Sarah's philosophy of Gentle Protest shows that there are many other tools we can carry in our activism toolbox, and that campaigning can be quietly relational rather than transactional or performative endeavour. https://youtu.be/8EgDlswKn1k What Is Gentle Protest? Sarah says that Gentle Protest invites us to challenge injustice through curiosity, empathy, and imagination rather than shame, aggression, or polarity. Instead of fighting fire with fire, Gentle Protest asks: What if activism could entice, intrigue, and attract people to ask questions rather than shout them down? What if change could be built through dialogue, beauty, and patience? This philosophy is rooted in gentleness as a form of strength, not passivity. It's about engaging people, including those in power, with respect and relational awareness, creating conditions where meaningful change can take root. Relationships Over Transactions For Sarah, this kind of activism is not about noise or confrontation. It's about relationship-building. Gentle Protest works by diffusing defensiveness and replacing finger-wagging with curiosity and creative connection. When protest becomes relational, it stops being about winning arguments and starts being about transforming understanding. It allows for mutual learning and a recognition of our shared humanity, even in disagreement. The Firm Backbone of Gentleness Gentleness is often mistaken for weakness, but as Sarah puts it, it actually requires maturity, emotional intelligence, and depth. To practice Gentle Protest is to treat people as equals while respecting the realities of their workload, their blind spots, and their humanity. It's a strategic and pragmatic approach that asks: Who can bring about the change we seek? and How can we engage them in ways that build trust, not tension? This isn't about letting things slide. It's about working intelligently, relationally, and with purpose. Craftivism is a Tool, Not a Taskmaster In the Gentle Protest Toolkit, craftivism is one potential tool rather than a catchall dogma. It's about finding creative methods that fit each situation, rather than repeating the same tactics out of habit. Sarah uses these questions to help people work backwards when figuring out the best approach for their campaign: What's the problem? What's the desired outcome? Who are the decision-makers? Who influences them? What creative medium could best reach them? If craftivism fits, use it. If not, find another way. The key is flexibility, imagination, and a commitment to relationships. Letting Go of Perfection Perfectionism can quietly strangle our ability to act. Sarah reminds us that activism isn't about knowing everything or producing perfect work; it's about participating in something bigger than ourselves. The moment we make a campaign about personal performance, we lose sight of its purpose and make it less impactful. Gentle Protest frees us from that pressure, allowing imperfection and humanity to shine through. The “Golden Thread of Gentleness” What runs through everything Sarah does is what she calls the golden thread of gentleness. Gentle Protest challenges the false dichotomy between soft and strong, showing that kindness can be an act of rebellion when the world rewards cruelty. In this sense, gentleness is a radical choice we can make in the face of power. It is not passive or submissive, but profoundly and existentially creative. About Sarah P Corbett An award-winning activist, author and Ashoka fellow, Sarah P Corbett founded the global Craftivist Collective in 2009 and coined ‘Gentle Protest' as her unique methodology. Corbett creates products and services for individuals, groups and organisations to do effective craftivism (craft + activism) prioritising audiences who have never done activism before. Sarah's pioneering work has helped change government laws, business policies as well as hearts and minds. She has worked with V&A, Tate, Craft Council, Climate Coalition, Helsinki Design Week, Save the Children and Secret Cinema amongst others. One of her campaigns directly led to 50,000 staff of Marks and Spencers receiving the real Living Wage. Plus WWF used Corbett's 10-point manifesto to create their own successful craftivism campaign that led to a change in law to protect migrating birds in Spain. Her TED x talk ‘Activism Needs Introverts' was chosen as a TED Talk Of The Day. Corbett Co-created the Girlguiding Craftivism badge and her third book The Craftivist Collective Handbook was published 2nd May 2024 and won ‘best multimedia book’ at 2025's The Creative Book Awards.

Did you know that the solution to hunger is solidarity, not charity? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn for her conversation with Mariana Chilton, PhD, MPH, Professor, U. of Mass Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences, and author of The Painful Truth About Hunger in America: Why We Must Unlearn Everything We Think We Know and Start Again. (MIT, 2024). Chilton discusses the trauma of hunger, the structural issues that undergird hunger, the devastating impact of hunger on children, and who really benefits from keeping people in a state of precarity. She explains how the solutions to hunger lie far beyond food, and are based in compassion, empathy, solidarity and loving kindness.Related Websites: www.drmarianachilton.com

In a world where everyone is worried about cost of living – what difference would it make to lift the wages of the lowest paid workers?Lyndy McIntyre has documented a campaign that did exactly that in Aotearoa New Zealand.

It all began with the Service and Food Workers Union's mission to win back the power needed to achieve decent pay for its members after the passage of an anti-worker, anti-union law in 1991. After trying many strategies, in 2011 the union reached out to the community with an invitation to build power together to unite around the shared goal of addressing poverty wages. The outcome has been hugely successful and changed the lives of many thousands of workers and their families. In Living Wage Movement Aotearoa NZ faith groups, community organisations and unions work in partnership. These groups represent thousands of New Zealanders in organisations as diverse as Catholic social justice groups, the Māori Women's Welfare League, students associations and refugee advocacy organisations. The diversity of Living Wage Movement Aotearoa NZ is the strength of the movement and the secret of the success of the many campaigns that have won the living wage for thousands of workers — in corporates, across local and central government and in small businesses and NGOs.Read more about Living Wage Movement Aotearoa NZ here.

On Tuesday's show: Tariffs threatened against Mexico and Canada are on hold for a month, while new tariffs imposed on China have taken effect. And those have led to tariffs imposed by Beijing on certain goods from the United States, including on crude oil and LNG. We consider the potential economic impact of tariffs on Houstonians, the Greater Houston economy, the state of Texas, and consumers in general.Also this hour: One recent analysis found that fewer than one-fifth of HISD high school graduates from 2017 had earned enough to make a living wage six years later. And nearby districts saw numbers only slightly better. But is that the best way to evaluate the success of someone's education long term? Then, we discuss how to set healthier boundaries at work and in our relationships.And we revisit our trip to Moody Gardens in Galveston.

The golden days are here again. Thanks for sharing.

Today's topic is simple: there will be no middle class. This is the first part of a four-part series where I'll explain why the middle class is going away and what that means for you. In the future, you'll either move up to the upper class or drop down to the lower class—there won't be an in-between. If you're in the middle class now, you need to start planning.  Let's break it all down so you can understand what's coming and what to do about it. Show Notes: [07:29]#1 The US government's $35 trillion in debt. They cannot give you money because they don't have any.

Join us for an enlightening discussion with Chris as we uncover the hidden complexities and unexpected realities of starting a farm business. Chris shares his unique journey, which began under the grim assumption of a limited lifespan due to health issues. This led him to neglect a detailed business plan initially, resulting in a steep learning curve. He emphasizes the crucial role of solid business foundations such as capital, labor, and clear goals, highlighting that the hands-on, visible aspects of farming are just a small fraction of what makes a farm successful. Chris candidly contrasts romanticized visions of farming with the logistical and strategic challenges faced in reality. We then shift focus to the broader challenges of being an entrepreneur, especially for those transitioning from technical roles to management positions. Chris discusses the pitfalls of such transitions, drawing parallels between middle managers and entrepreneurs overwhelmed by their new roles. Our conversation explores Blackbird and Sylvan Aquin's innovative approach to creating a sustainable business model that pays living wages by integrating agribusiness and agriculture. This approach helps offset the low margins in farming by leveraging higher-margin agribusiness activities, aiming to create a system where individuals don't have to be entrepreneurs to succeed. In the latter part of our episode, we tackle the larger socio-political implications of ethical business growth and the role of social entrepreneurship in challenging capitalism. Chris provides insights into the need for practical business acumen and realistic goals to achieve political and ethical objectives. We also discuss the importance of creating businesses that ethically redistribute wealth, building economic centers that can drive political change. Listen in as we explore the necessity of understanding business fundamentals, maintaining community accountability, and creating a culture of fairness to achieve meaningful progress and sustainable change.
