One sec while we nerd out a bit here.

You know the great thing about Jedi’s? They’re protectors. Guardians.

They are a part of something bigger than themselves and used their great power for good.

That’s what we want to be in this world. Protect it. Use the power and voices we have to protect our planet, and the beautiful beings living on it.

Who wants to join us on this mission? 🌌

I'm a big fan of podcasts, and mid 2019 I came across my new fav Wardrobe Crisis hosted by Clare . In the last episode of 2019, Clare interviewed the two founders of , Joey Swillinger and Tim Brown. I first heard of Allbirds this summer at where members of the team were raving to me about them. Near the end of the podcast, Joey said this line which I felt worth sharing. "𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲"⁠

It's something that I've seen mentioned in many ways this past year, and is such an important reminder for those trying to make waves of change but feeling on shakey ground. ⁠
⁠
The issues we are facing right now, 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴 we 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 face actually, are always more nuanced than we typically like to admit. We like to simplify things, and find clear answers that can be handled quickly without much effort, and if you break issues down enough, typically you can do that! But we often don't allow ourselves this grace when we are tackling the problems we want to solve in our own lives, or in the brands we run. ⁠
⁠
So 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲, its okay if you don't have things perfect right from the start! perfection is not only a fallacy, but its going to prevent you from building a tools to get one step closer to your goals, and if we aren't individually stepping towards those goals, then as a collective we suffer as well. ⁠
⁠
Added note: It might be weird for a 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 brand to be sharing a quote from a 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘦 brand, but 1) I would rather be sharing stoke and promoting others with similar values. 2) we make different things, not to mention 3) I'm still small fry. With that note however, do't be surprised if you see me raving about other brands I love in the future! 💕 Even as Wayward Kin grows.⁠
