Having 45 years in footwear is incredible. In fact, our guest, Funds2Orgs founder and CEO, Wayne Elsey, relates a lot to the famous footwear icon "Al Bundy." However, in all seriousness, Elsey has leveraged his experience to assist organizations, individuals, and microbusinesses with a simple shoe drive fundraiser. These fundraisers help organizations achieve their goals and allow global microentrepreneurs to make a living in the reuse sector. Elsey's enthusiasm for people, connection, and shoes is contagious. It's evident that he cares deeply for others' welfare, and if you stick around long enough, he's going to let you know that "You Matter." Check our latest podcast with Wayne Elsey on Planet Aid's website. It's also available on Spotify, YouTube, Substack, Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts are available.

Did you know that responsible consumption and production is part of the UN's global Sustainable Development Goals? It's Goal #12, and yes, it's concerning textile waste, but that's not all. The issue includes food waste, chemical waste, waste generation, promoting a universal understanding of a sustainable lifestyle, and more. FYI, you can check out all the components of SDG #12, right here: https://lnkd.in/daYXK4gu
