Episode 140: The Future Is A Place We Invent, with Katya of No Kill Magazine

Amanda is joined by Katya Moorman, the co-founder and editor of No Kill Magazine. They try to get to the bottom of why so many people will perform all sorts of mental acrobatics to explain why they need fast fashion (and how to counteract that). They also explain how retail and warehouse workers are the domestic evidence of how the fashion and retail industries regard all of the workers who are responsible for their profits. They will break down the CFDA partnership with Amazon and Katya will share all of the things that make her feel optimistic about the future. Also: Amanda explains what CH is doing to support small businesses for the holiday season.
