Podcast Overview

Hey I'm Pat Perdue and I want to introduce you to my latest podcast. This one is a co-production between my company, YCASTR, and Seneca College, in Toronto. Seneca College is a really great school. I know, because over the past couple of years I've been teaching some marketing and customer service courses there. People come to study at Seneca from all over the world which makes it a hotbed of innovative thinking. And a big part of that thinking is driven by our amazing faculty, many of whom are, well, like me, professionals who are thriving in their own businesses, and teach at Seneca as a way to share their passion for what they do. Needless to say I've been hugely inspired by the people I've met. And what happens when I get inspired? Well, apparently I launch a podcast. So, here we are! Welcome to #SenecaProud Where I get to introduce YOU to some of Seneca College's amazing faculty. So subscribe, download, and join me, as we meet some of the super inspiring folks who teach here at Seneca College, in Toronto. I'm Pat Perdue, and I'm glad you're here today.

Season 5, Episode 9: Season 5 In Review: Discovering Our Potential; Recovering our Dreams

About Today's Show In this episode we revisit all of our conversations this season, and explore how it was that our alumni could use Seneca as such a powerful launchpad to their successful careers. How is it that a single conversation in a classroom can inspire a student to change the direction of their life; or find the courage to enroll in a program that speaks to a dream that had previously lay dormant? What kind of place can have such an impact on our lives? In revisiting conversations with Seneca alumni, as well as Seneca professors, and leaders, we uncover some of the components that make Seneca Polytechnic such a place, and we also take a look at how Seneca's future will help shape the economy of tomorrow. Until Next Season I’d like to thank everyone associated with the show this season: <ul> <li class="MsoNormal">Seneca College for sponsoring this podcast, in particular Corey Long, Ryan Flanagan, and Constance Adams, for all of your help and this season. </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Courtney Rheume for her help in editing many of the episodes. </li> <li class="MsoNormal">And most of all, thank you for listening. Until next season, Stay Proud Seneca.</li> </ul> This Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, and Apple Podcasts, which means it's available pretty much wherever you get your podcasts. <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/senecaproud/id1448933774?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Click here to subscribe</a>.

Season 5, Episode 8: Seneca Professor, and Fashion Sustainability Expert, Dr. Sabine Weber

About Today's Show Welcome to episode 8, Season 5 of #SenecaProud Podcast! Question: What do you do with the clothes you no longer wear? If you're like me, you try to donate them when you can, but what if they're tattered? For me, I probably throw them into the garbage, which of course goes straight to the landfill. Turns out, textile waste is a big problem, both globally, and in Canada as well. Here are some statistics, courtesy of Earth.org: <ol> <li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">92 Million Tonnes of Textiles Waste is Produced Every Year - which is the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes ending up in a landfill site every second.</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">The number of times a garment is worn is now between 7 to 10 times before it is discarded.</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">To produce 1 kg of cotton requires 20,000 litres of water, and producing a single t-shirt requires 2,700 litres of water.</li> </ol> Clearly this is a serious problem, and our guest in today's show is not only a Seneca Professor, she is also one of Canada's formost experts on the topic, Dr. Sabine Weber. In this show we talk about her Dumpster Study, funded by Seneca's Applied Research Fund. And.... In this episode we also learn: <ol> <li class="MsoNormal">How serious the problem is in Canada</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The opportunity for entrepreneurs to solve the supply chain challenges, so that garmets can be recycled more easily</li> <li class="MsoNormal">What we can do to help reduce our textile waste</li> <li class="MsoNormal">So much more!</li> </ol> About our Guest, Dr. Sabine Weber Sabine Weber has been teaching at Seneca Polytechnic since 2016, in the school of fashion, where she teaches in all three fashion programs: Fashion Business & Fashion Business Management, Fashion Arts and Fashion Studies. Prior to coming to Canada, Sabine began her career in Germany and later in Switzerland, where as a fasion buyer she oversaw a purchasing budget of over $250 million per year. Currently, Sabine’s research topics are sustainable fashion, textile waste, and social innovation. Sabine’s main interest is how social innovation can help to transition the fashion industry towards sustainability. Her particular focus is textile waste and a circular fashion system. And along with her students, she completed what became known as the Dumpster Dive study, which was funded by Seneca’s Applied Research Fund. We touch on that study in our conversation. Sabine hold both a Master’s Degree, and a PhD from the University of Waterloo. This description of Sabine only scratches the surface of Sabine’s accomplishments in the area of textile waste and sustainable fashion. Suffice it to say, Sabine is one of, if not number one, expert on this topic, in Canada. And she teaches right here at Seneca! Pretty cool.
