    Description

    We’re diving into some incredibly important topics about ethical and sustainable jewelry production, making, and sourcing!   This is a hot topic that everyone wants to talk about and learn about, so we’re also going to explore the Ethical Metalsmiths Organization.    I’ve been on their advisory board for a couple of years, and I just love what they’re doing to mentor designers and create community in a very different way than we do over here at Flourish and Thrive Academy.    In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, I chat with Jennifer Dawes and Jay Moncada about becoming an ethical metalsmith and what it looks like to build a sustainable jewelry brand!   We talk about: Consumer behavior and why responsibly sourcing is a must. How to gain resources, mentorship, vendors, and best practices. How to join the activism. More important info on creating a biz that loves the earth! If you don’t know about Ethical Metalsmiths, go look them up right now - I highly recommend that you become a member because they’re awesome. Listen in for a candid talk on how to build a business that’s in alignment with your values of doing good to the earth and having a clear line of the supply chain!
