This week we are doing something we’ve never done before: talking to a brand, and their supplier, together! Relationships between brands and suppliers can be contentious, but it doesn’t have to be that way. And our guests this week prove it.

Sierra Brodleit is Director of Operations & Finance for ChicoBag. Chico Bag is a registered B-corp whose mission is to eliminate single use waste, especially plastic. As part of that mission they sell reusable shopping bags and totes. Arjen Laan is the CEO of Pactics, a manufacturing company in Cambodia. Pactics makes the reusable shipping bags and totes that Chico Bag sells.
