Our Episodes

Overview

In this episode of Good Business, Kim Randle and Fiona David are joined by Aarti Kapoor, the Founder and Executive Director of Embode. With over 25 years of experience spanning law enforcement, NGOs, and corporate consulting in Southeast Asia, Aarti brings a refreshingly honest perspective on why traditional human rights due diligence is failing to make a real impact. The conversation challenges the status quo of "compliance culture," revealing how Western standards and language often alienate the very suppliers companies are trying to engage. Aarti breaks down why sending a questionnaire about "slavery" to a proud family business in Indonesia is counterproductive, and offers a practical roadmap for moving from transactional policing to transformational partnership.

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.
