#0037 WEAR CHANGE - EVERYBODY CAN WIN!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast. You've probably already worked out that I love using the podcast to shine a light on the people in my world who are doing interesting and inspiring things. Well, this episode is no different, as we are joined by my wonderful friend Gary Bonnick.Gary, along with his wife Shannon, runs a business called Wear Change, A Shop, an online platform that sells a wide range of vintage and pre-loved clothing and paraphernalia. Wanting to do something a bit different in a world filled with fast fashion. Wear Change focuses on sustainability, building community, and giving back to the people around them.They've recently signed a partnership with the Salvation Army, under which a percentage of all sales from Wear Change will go directly to them and to the amazing work they do in the community.But not only that, Wear Change wants to help other artisan makers and creators. So if you are a fashion designer or perhaps an artist, then Wear Change wants to be a platform or a storefront for you to sell your work, too, because, as Gary tells us, it's bigger than just them and there's opportunity for everybody to win.That's Gary through and through. And one of the reasons why I wanted to get him on the podcast, he's one of those people who genuinely cares about others and someone whose energy lifts the people around him, whether he knows it or not.In this episode, we talk about Gary's journey, the early days where, as most of us did, He was searching for direction. We talk about his evolution and the passion and drive that he's now found, starting and running Wear Change alongside his fantastic wife, Shannon, supporting each other every step of the way.We discuss why fashion is a language and why we need so much more colour in this somewhat beige world we all live in. We also talk about having strong work ethics, the lessons that we can all learn from failure, why rejection is simply a sign of redirection, and so much more.Be sure to check out the links to the Wear Change social media and shop below:Hope you enjoy this episode of The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.WEAR CHANGE SHOP: https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/67944777-shanntWEAR CHANGE INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/wear_changeuk/Support the showCNL WEBSITE: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/joinCNL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/creativenowhereland/CNL PODCAST MUSIC: https://www.instagram.com/jjodabeats/
