   Clothing swaps are creating a new way to participate in the circular fashion economy.

   How to Scale Your Vintage Shop: Lessons From Kido The One, Who Moved 40,000+ Vintage Items

   Kido The One, vintage entrepreneur, curator, content creator, and educator, joins the podcast to share how a curiosity for thrift shopping in Australia grew into a multi-layered vintage business built around sourcing, wholesale, eBay, live selling, and community. What started with selling a few thrifted pieces from local “op shops” has evolved into a business that moves thousands of vintage items, supplies sellers around the world, and helps shape conversations around modern vintage entrepreneurship. Through years of experimentation, building relationships, and understanding the resale market, Kido has created a unique approach to vintage that goes beyond finding great pieces—it’s about building systems, adapting to change, and creating a business designed to last. In this episode, Kido shares how he transitioned from individual sales into wholesale, why vintage sellers need to understand their numbers and build strong operational foundations, and how relationships—not just inventory—create long-term success. He also discusses the role of social media in building a personal brand, the power of putting yourself out there, how live selling is changing the future of vintage commerce, and why testing new ideas while staying focused on what already works is the key to sustainable growth.
