Lane Stockton and Yarn’n – paper based education

In this powerful and heart-centred episode of The Glitter Effect, we sit down with Lane Stockton, a proud Wiradjuri man and co-founder of Yarn’n — Australia’s only Indigenous-owned and Australian-made toilet paper company. But Yarn’n is far more than a household essential; it’s “toilet paper with purpose,” created from a deep desire to give back, uplift culture and create long-lasting community impact. Lane shares how he and co-founder David Croft transformed a simple idea into a national social enterprise that donates 50% of its profits to Yalari, supporting the education of Indigenous children from remote and regional communities. In just two years, Yarn’n has proudly sponsored four students through high school — an achievement Lane holds close to his heart. In this episode, Lane opens up about his upbringing on Quandamooka Country near Brisbane, his family’s devotion to education, and the moment fatherhood sparked a reevaluation of his own path. Moving from a career in residential building to purpose-driven entrepreneurship, Lane discovered a powerful truth: the product doesn’t have to be glamorous to create meaningful change. Toilet paper — found in every household and workplace across Australia — became the perfect vehicle to spark awareness, open doors and give back to Indigenous youth. This conversation is rich with honesty, culture, purpose and hope. Join us as we unpack Lane’s journey, the driving force behind Yarn’n and the incredible ripple effect that happens when everyday products carry extraordinary meaning. Yarn’n: https://yarnn.au/
