9: 2008 Recession & COVID Pandemic Parallels | Stephanie Ostler

There we have it: Stephanie Ostler’s entrepreneurial journey thus far.

8: Righting the Wrongs of Fast Fashion | Selina Ho
<p>Would you buy a t-shirt for $10? Would you still buy it if you knew that over 1,000 people were killed in the process? In 2013, Bangladesh's Rana Plaza collapse accentuated the dire working conditions of labourers (read: victims) of the fast fashion industry to the global community.</p> <p>Knowing this human cost is enough to stop all of us from buying such goods, but the fast fashion industry’s persistent detrimental effects don’t stop here.</p> <p>It is also notorious for its overwhelming disservice to the environment. One example: Because of excess clothing production and the brevity of its use, the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes is burned or dumped in a landfill every second, according to the United Nations Environment Programme.</p> <p>Having seen these staggering statistics (and more), Selina Ho has made it her mission to right the wrongs of the harmful fast fashion industry. Even today, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Selina continues to resiliently scale sustainable brands and educate consumers about slow fashion through the Recloseted podcast, e-book, and social media channels.</p> <p><strong>More about Selina</strong>:</p> <p>Selina is the Founder & CEO of Recloseted, a consulting agency dedicated to collectively marching towards slow fashion with both businesses and consumers. Outside of sustainability, Selina also applies her business acumen in consumer health as a marketing manager at TELUS. When she's not working, you can find her on the mountains skiing and snowboarding, unwinding at a yoga class, or trying out new restaurants.</p> <ul> <li>Connect with Selina on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/selinaho/"><u>https://www.linkedin.com/in/selinaho/</u></a></li> <li>Follow Recloseted on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/recloseted/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/recloseted/</u></a></li> <li>Download the Recloseted Handbook: <a href="https://www.recloseted.com/handbook"><u>https://www.recloseted.com/handbook</u></a></li> <li>Listen to the Recloseted Radio Podcast: <a href="https://www.recloseted.com/podcast"><u>https://www.recloseted.com/podcast</u></a></li> </ul>

<p>Selling is draining. Selling is egocentric. Selling is manipulative.

Instead?

In doing so, Farnoosh pursed purpose over paycheck and embraced the serving mindset along the way.</p> <p>More about Farnoosh:</p> <p>Farnoosh went from electrical engineer and rising leader at a Fortune 100 company to business coach, trainer, and speaker at Google, Fidelity Investments and others.
