Host Lorraine Sanders is a seasoned journalist who has featured guests, ranging from designers to doctors to strategists to fashion photographers — all who are influencing the sustainable fashion space.
This podcast is perfect for anyone looking for part inspiration, part tactical business advice, part education of the industry.

SIMPLY, LIVED IN BY NINE56 STUDIO
Simply, Lived In is a podcast started by Factory45’er Meg Floersch, founder of Nine56 Studio. Following the death of her father, Meg began to question the pace of her life and wondered, “What would it look like if I simplified?”
It’s with this mantra in mind that she interviews guests who are pursuing minimalism, slow fashion, local eating and living a more purposeful life.
This podcast is perfect for anyone who is inspired to slow down, live life intentionally and explore a more minimalist lifestyle.
My conversation with Meg about shopping ethically and always moving forward is here.
