Alice Karolina Smith is a brand architect and the founder of the ethical move. In an instant-gratification society, her mission is to disrupt the cycle of consumerism by creating a culture of meaning instead of more. She believes that businesses that stand out tell stories of substance, share products that serve the world and sell with integrity. Alice works with these brave souls, helping them tell their stories & build their worlds.
In this episode we discussed:
– creativity vs consumerism
– comparison and the generation of want and need
– designer ivory tower
– what we would be capable with collaboration
– ethics/branding…
– and more
Something Cool
From Alice:
Alice’s filter: instead of figuring it out, go and discover. In other words, instead of taking a problem researching to try and solve it, just write it down and see what shows up.
From Melissa:
Saving the World with Simple Pictures from Dan Roam
Enjoy!
Listeners Wanted!
Has the Creative Sandbox Way™ podcast made a difference in your life? Would you like to be featured on the podcast?
I love sharing listener stories, so if you have a story of how listening to the podcast has changed your life for the better in some way — big or small — I want to feature you in a Listener Spotlight.
Here’s how it works:
1. Just log into iTunes and leave a rating and review. (If you don’t know how to do that, you’ll find step-by-step instructions at creativesandboxway.com/itunes-review).
2. Then copy and paste what you wrote in your review into an email, and send it to me, along with why you want to be featured in a Listener Spotlight, and how the podcast has made a difference in your life. You can email me at creativesandboxway.com/contact.
That’s it!
If I pick you for a Listener Spotlight, we’ll have a relaxed, fun conversation, and the recording of our conversation will be part of a future episode! How cool is that?
