Sam Mabley has a “Someday Dream” to transform the fashion industry.

How?

By making ethical clothing affordable AND paying factory workers a fair wage.

Ten years ago, Sam had an epiphany in a fitting room: it was almost impossible to buy ethical clothing on the high street. The year was 2013, and sweatshops and workers' wages were in the headlines. So began his decade-long mission to create clothing that was stylish, sustainable, AND affordable — clothes that did good as well as looked good.

Sam is challenging the belief that ethical fashion has to be expensive. He realized that with a bit of scale, sustainable style could be made more affordable. With that vision—and a little help from his friends — “Yes Friends” was born.

When everyone said ethical clothes had to be pricey, Sam and his small team introduced the world to the £7.99 sustainable T-shirt. The response was overwhelming: over 4,000 T-shirts sold in the first month, attracting national news coverage and recognition from influential figures.

In this episode, you'll meet Sam, the game-changing founder of Yes Friends. He is an ethical entrepreneur, sustainability advocate, and innovative thinker. Sam discusses the challenges and triumphs of building a brand committed to ethical practices without compromising on affordability. From the early days in Bristol to the rapid growth of Yes Friends, his story is one of passion, persistence, and purpose.

Discover how Yes Friends is setting a new standard for ethical fashion, proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Having appeared in primetime British soaps Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders, as well as the BBC's Body Guard, Joti Patel took a huge risk...

She moved to America to become an on-camera host and State-side actor just as the pandemic gripped New York!

Joti's dedication and determination saw her trade Birmingham for the Big Apple, with pit stops in Vegas and India! She went on to land roles in Uncoupled (Netflix) and Dr Death, but the road to success was uphill and far from smooth.

In this episode, you'll meet our new co-host... Joti Patel: British-Indian actress, TV presenter, executive coach and screenwriter.

Joti talks about living a resilient life without regrets, where you lead from your values, follow your passion, and take the right risks.

Joti battled against the odds to achieve her Someday dream and even won a place on the prestigious BAFTA newcomer's programme.
