Episode 197 / Chris Solt - A Conversation on Fair Trade, Greenwashing, and conscious Consumerism

Confession time—we meant to bring you this episode back in September, but life had other plans. So, if you hear us talking about September, just roll with it!

In this episode I sit down with Chris, a passionate advocate for fair trade and ethical consumerism, to talk about his journey, insights on greenwashing and fairwashing, and advice for navigating today's complex marketplace as an ethical business.
