Toilet paper. You use it. I use it. Sometimes, even my children use it. The point is, toilet paper is everywhere. Almost everyone needs it, and so much of it still comes from actual forests, and yet 2 billion people don't have access to even basic sanitation, much less readily available and recycled toilet paper. That's about 40% of the global population. 289,000 children under five die every year from diarrheal diseases caused by poor water and sanitation. That's almost 800 children per day, or one child every two minutes. That's also completely fucking unacceptable. So what can I do about toilet paper and sanitation, and can I do them at the same time? My guest today is Bernie Wiley. Bernie's the Sustainability Director at Who Gives a Crap and, oh boy, do I love this company.Who Gives A Crap makes toilet paper and paper towels and poop bags and more out of recycled paper and bamboo. And they give 50% of their profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world. And because of Bernie's relentless focus, they consider every step of the supply chain along the way from water use to power use, all the way to last-mile delivery.-----------Have feedback or questions?

CLICK HERE TO JOIN CONQUERThrough years of dieting, you've developed strong urges to binge. Continuously acting on your binge urges creates a habit in your brain. The urges you experience is why you feel compelled to go into the pantry to have something sweet even though you're full from dinner. So you need to not give into them in order to eliminate them. Every urge you don't give into, is helping you become less impulsive and eventually your urges will stop popping up.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach---> Tiktok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach

For a lot of us—especially high-achieving women—ambition can feel like a double-edged sword. It drives us, fuels us, and pushes us forward. But it can also drain us, disconnect us, and quietly lead us away from who we really are. That's exactly why I invited Amina AITai back to the podcast. She's a holistic business and career coach, a chronic illness advocate, a proud immigrant, and one of the most grounded voices on what it means to live and lead with intention. In her new book, The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, Amina unpacks the toxic side of ambition—and how to reclaim it in a way that actually serves you. We talk about the ambition myths that keep women stuck, the pressure to perform at all costs, and how to get out of the cycle of striving and back into alignment with what really matters. This isn't about playing small—it's about playing smart. Purposefully. Intuitively. Sustainably. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What the ambition trap is—and how to know if you're in it ✅ The difference between aligned ambition and external pressure ✅ Why burnout isn't a badge of honor ✅ Practices to reconnect with your brilliance and body ✅ The surprising role rest plays in achievement Ambition isn't the problem. The problem is chasing a version of success that was never really yours to begin with. It's time to stop striving and start living—from the inside out.   Connect with Amina:  Website: www.aminaaltai.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/aminaaltai/ Book: https://www.aminaaltai.com/book Related Podcast Episodes: The Power of Enough with Elizabeth Husserl | 299 How To Know When It's Time to Quit with Goli Kalkhoran | 266 Abundance: Secrets to Prosperity and Ease with Cathy Heller | 260 Share the Love: If you found this episode insightful, please share it with a friend, tag us on social media, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform!

A better future for our planet means most people buying secondhand clothing most of the time. Right now we live in a “golden era” of shopping secondhand…if you're the customer! But the infrastructure as it exists right now for the people doing the work of finding, repairing, cleaning, and selling secondhand clothing needs a lot of improvement.  This week, Amanda is joined by Valeria Brenner of Thryft Ship to dissect how and why the current state of secondhand resale isn't equitable for the people doing the work:We will break down the reality of the fees that these platforms are charging (and how it makes running a financially sustainable business nearly impossible for secondhand resellers),We will talk about how the socially ingrained expectation of free shipping makes that even more difficult, And we will discuss how this system could be better! Maybe it will get some of you thinking about new tools and systems for the secondhand economy!Also, Valeria will explain why the secondhand reseller community is so amazing.Find Thryft Ship:IG: @thryftshipWebsite: thryftship.comRead Alex's Substack (1-800-Vintage) about why she no longer calls herself a resellerGet your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording:  amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

Steve Guberman is the Founder of Agency Outsight, a firm that guides creative, digital, and marketing agency owners toward achieving sustainable growth and overcoming operational challenges. He is a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in the creative, marketing, advertising, and public relations industries. In 2006, Steve founded his creative agency, which he successfully led for a decade before its acquisition by a PR firm in 2015. Following the acquisition, he played a pivotal role in transforming the firm into a full-service strategic communications agency. In this episode… Many agency owners chase arbitrary goals like hitting a million in revenue or building a business to sell — only to find themselves overworked, underpaid, and disconnected from their original purpose. They end up stuck in day-to-day operations, unsure how to scale without sacrificing their sanity or team morale. So, how can agency leaders set meaningful goals, increase profitability, and build a business that supports their lifestyle? Steve Guberman, a creative, marketing, and advertising world veteran, shares hard-earned lessons on escaping the burnout cycle and growing with purpose. He emphasizes identifying your “why” before setting business goals, urging agency owners to avoid copycat goals, and reverse-engineer outcomes based on lifestyle and financial needs. He outlines how niching became the key to higher pricing, authority, and operational clarity. From setting up SOPs to tracking profitability and leveraging strategic partnerships, Steve breaks down systems that create long-term agency sustainability. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Steve Guberman, Founder of Agency Outsight, about building an agency that aligns with your personal and professional goals. Steve discusses the dangers of vague growth metrics, the importance of niching for clarity and profitability, and how to systematize operations. He also shares insights on delegating, managing retainers without discounts, and forming smart agency partnerships.

Over the past few years, we have explored many different facets of the secondhand economy: resellers and the ethics of reselling secondhand items, the various secondhand platforms, the fine art of thrifting, and even where all of the unsold stuff from thrift stores ends up! In this episode we'll learn what it's like to run an independent thrift store, with Sara and Shan of Bargain Thrift Center, a thrift store in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA.  We will discussHow the unrealistically low prices of ultra fast fashion impact the prices most people are willing to pay for secondhand itemsOpportunities that the secondhand supply chain has to reach more people and match them with the product they are seekingWhat happens to the collectibles and tchotchkes that are flooding thrift stores right now (I call it the “collection industrial complex”)And Sara and Shan's vision for the future of secondhand/thriftingAlong the way, we'll talk an awful lot about Precious Moments and we'll wonder where all of the Ed Hardy stuff ended up at the end of the 00s.Also: Amanda shares why she is feeling optimistic right now.Follow Bargain Thrift Center on Instagram: @bargainthriftcenterGet your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording:  amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

Californians have perfected outdoor living, largely due to the favorable climate. As weather patterns change, the design industry has adapted with sustainable materials, inventive building practices and creative use of space including outdoor kitchens, theaters, plunge pools, functional landscapes, and unique approaches to sport courts.  From pickleball to a pickle martini, design meets entertainment with the new innovations in outdoor design. All of these programs took place in the WestEdge Theater presented by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home. The stage was designed by Julie Beuerlein of JKB Home Design. This program was sponsored by TimberTech. A fantastic partner/ sponsor of Convo By Design. As a busy professional designer, you know how important it is to find the right partnerships. Partnerships that allow you to specify the right products for every project. Professionals like you just don't have time to waste. Let me tell you about one of my partnerships. Pacific Sales is here to serve you with expert, knowledgeable and non-commissioned professionals to help you specify the right product for all your projects. Non-commissioned. That means their only incentive is your satisfaction. Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home, a Best Buy Company has just that with over 60 years of service in Southern California. Pacific Sales is your destination for exploration, advice and inspiration. And here's the cherry on top, access to exclusive Builder Trade Incentives from top brands like Monogram. Visit a Pacific Sales Showroom today to learn how you can unlock additional savings and benefits. Don't miss out on the opportunity to work with the best of the best. Visit Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home today and elevate your projects to new heights! At the highest level of design, the absolute best specifying designers, architects and landscape designers are all highly focused on the technology and performance of products and materials today. You have to because the products you specify for your projects have to perform and they have to last. That is one of the reasons why I am so proud to be working with TimberTech. Their focus on the technical renaissance of synthetic decking is literally changing the conversation about innovation and performance. It pulls focus on three priorities homeowners have and expect from the products their designers and architects specify for their luxury projects; 1. Aesthetics must match the overall design and fit visually. 2. Durability and maintenance. I've told you my board-flipping stories about my own wood decks. Clients not only want beauty, but they want ease of use and they want it to last for decades. 3. Sustainably made. Clients are more conscious of the environment and they want the same of their materials. TimberTech hits each one of these elements with a product that not only meets expectations, they exceed them. TimberTech makes a synthetic decking that looks just like wood, color and embossed wood grain for a natural appearance. Their composite decking is technologically superior as it has been created to last for decades, and it is manufactured with up to 85% recycled material. Their Advanced PVC Vintage and Landmark Collections have a Class A Flame Spread Rating making these products an amazing choice for wildfire prone areas, which unfortunately continues to grow on a risk-map. Check the show notes for more information about this and to find the nearest showroom or lumberyard. You can also check them out directly TimberTech.com.

Has it changed what it is covered?How can we fact check the things we see online?Also, Amanda introduces REDUCE, REFUSE, RESIST, an economic protest (and new way of life) for all of us that begins in March."Inside the State Department's Weapons Pipeline to Israel," Brett Murphy, ProPublica.Join the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack!
