And I am now holding Nicole to some promised patterns for MY yarn stash!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Nicole has met all Lauren&#8217;s and my preconceived notions &#8211; she is curious, intelligent, discovery-focused, business-savvy, and crafty in the best way. Along with transparent and giving fully to this conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In our first cut of our chat, we talk more about the yarns and the cultivation of impact in countries that supply the silk and other recycled fibers. It is amazing<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>to learn that a successful business strategy can, over time, create demand for waste products and do so in a way that connects us to the full lifecycle of materials. All this while supporting a step up in life-style and purpose for women, particularly women, in third world countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">What if <strong>every purchase of everything<\/strong> integrated this extra step to improve lives and livelihood in-nation and abroad? Think on that as a \u201cnested systems\u201d approach. Can we do what we want to do (e.g. buying yarn) in a way that improves the lives of others, heals natural systems, and pays benefits forward in the act?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Our second cut talks more about business: How to run a business, tools to do so, and the challenges of running a start-up and growing business with great impact. Nicole stresses the importance of therapy and planning to support the evolution of the business itself along with your own personal sanity and growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Also, what happens when a small, locationally specific, waste-to-product company is adopted by a big-box store\u2026.what does this future hold?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Thumb-Nicole.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4656 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Thumb-Nicole-300x167.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Thumb-Nicole-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Thumb-Nicole-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Thumb-Nicole.png 984w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>And as always, thanks for watching.
