Today, Lia chats about economy of scale (also called economies of scale) and what it might look like in practice. She covers ways in which being a large business gives you a leg up, and how the big fish exploit that even further. If you aren't convinced to support small businesses after this episode, we're pretty sure this isn't the podcast for you. Just saying!

Today, Lia takes you through what direct trade means (and doesn't), as well as its relationship to fair trade. She'll talk about how they're sort of like cousins, and how direct trade is, like, almost exactly like goat's milk. (No, seriously!) Lia also makes an announcement that things are going to be changing around here! Mostly, you can now expect weekly (rather than daily) episodes that are a little more in-depth. Check back every Thursday for new drops from here on out!

In a super fun episode full of laughs, Lia and her good friend, Eileen Si Chen, sit down and chat about ethical consumption, Costco love and horrifying mug shots (plus much more)! With tons of fair trade experience under her belt, Eileen has no illusions that fair trade is perfect, but she knows nothing is and it's still close to her heart. Between her time at the University of Windsor chapter of Engineers Without Borders, volunteering with Fair Trade Toronto and sitting on the Canadian Fair Trade Network's board, Eileen is as knowledgeable as she is hilarious!
