Kyle Parsons, Founder of Indosole (Interview 7/100)

You’re going to buy shoes anyway, so why not buy from a brand that is actively working to clean up our planet? Indosole is a recycled footwear brand based in Bali, Indonesia with a global initiative and its founder, Kyle Parsons, talks about the impact of sustainable manufacturing and what it’s like to evolve from idea to implementation while continuously improving. Originally from the United States, he was naturally drawn to everything Bali has to offer. During one early visit, he broke a flip flop and the replacement launched the idea for what is now Indosole. While the idea of repurposing old tires for the soles of shoes might have been more common in the area, what sets Indosole apart is the higher quality that has developed over many iterations. Shout out to:Sungai WatchPatagonia (back in the shout outs again!)Early and bonus shows as well as curated discussions and merch are available on Patreon.Company Mentions | BioSite (with links to listen & more) | TranscriptsWe encourage intentional consumerism and community-focused business practices.Ad-free episodes can be accessed through paid subscription at Patreon.com/CapitalismForGood (options starting at $1).Between the Interviews | Bittersweet Paradox | Capitalism for Green | Company Mentions Hosted on Acast.
