Summary
I met Matt from the Northampton Sneaker Company about a year ago now and was inspired by his 15 mile source map. His shoes are designed and made in the town where he grew up. This podcast looks at what he does and why he does it. With the shoe and apparel sectors being only five years from losing key skills into retirement forever it is important to buy British when you can. Once upon a time every town had a thing it was known for. Increasingly we have towns and cities that could be "anytown". This podcast looks at the importance of UK manufacturing and how the shoe industry runs through Matt's blood - literally.

Making things better
Release Date: 10/12/2023
Description: Making things better What response will improve the situation? That’s the one to choose. It’s not enough to claim you care. Merely appearing to make things better is insufficient at best, and perhaps even counterproductive. Figure out what will bring positive, enduring results. Focus on that course of action. Hold yourself and your actions to a high standard. Refuse to settle for anything less than effectiveness that provides a clear benefit. Every circumstance comes with opportunity for improvement. Go through the details until you can find and seize upon a realistic, workable opportunity. Then put your skills, knowledge, and persistence to work. Make it through the day, the task, the challenge by making things better. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celebrities-motivational-speech/donations
