  • New Podcast: Good Business

  • Good Business is Fair Supply’s new limited podcast series designed for ESG, procurement and compliance leaders seeking clear, evidence-based perspectives on responsible business practice. How do practitioners meet emerging regulatory obligations to build systems that deliver measurable human rights, environmental and social outcomes?

    Across conversations with senior practitioners, investors and operational leaders, the series examines what genuinely drives progress.

    Each episode delivers:

  • Clear insight into the real-world impacts organisations must address.

  • Practical guidance for operationalising sustainable and responsible sourcing.

  • Perspectives from the people shaping modern ESG expectations and organisational decision-making.

  • Good Business provides grounded, commercially relevant discussions to help organisations strengthen performance, reduce risk and act with integrity.

Our Episodes

Overview

In this episode of Fair Supply’s Good Business, hosts Kim Randle sits down with James Bartle, the Founding CEO of Outland Denim. James shares the raw and honest origin story of the brand, sparked by a viewing of the film Taken and a confrontation with the grim reality of human trafficking in Southeast Asia. The conversation dives deep into the "Founder’s Dilemma", moving from a charity mindset to a sustainable for-profit business model. James discusses the acquisition of Australian label Nobody Denim, the nuances of paying a living wage versus a minimum wage, and why he believes transparency builds more trust than certifications in the modern consumer landscape.

Overview

For our second episode, I sit down with Kathryn McConnell, founder and CEO of Brighte, the financial powerhouse dedicated to making every Australian home sustainable. We go deep on what it actually takes to transform a bold vision into a monumental impact business. Kathryn opens up about the courage required to back her initial vision, the obsessive problem-solving that drove her to leave a decade in banking, and why accessibility is the foundation of true sustainable growth that is built to last. If you’re building, leading, or funding a purpose-driven company that needs to stand the test of time, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

Overview

For the inaugural episode, Fair Supply Co-Founder and CEO Kim Randle sits down with Craig Blair, Co-Founder of AirTree, and one of the most influential voices in Australian venture capital. They go deep on what it actually takes to build and back companies that last. Craig opens up about founder resilience, disciplined growth, the stories behind iconic Australian startups, and why sustainable, long-term thinking is now the real competitive advantage. If you’re building, leading, or backing a business with ambition and purpose, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.
