    EPISODE 31: Open Farm
    Mar 27 2024
    Co-founders Jacqueline Prehogan and Isaac Langleben started Open Farm Pet Food over a decade ago. Their goal was to do more than just change the ingredients in pet food; they wanted to completely rethink the way it was made. That meant not only sourcing the highest quality ingredients, but also supporting farmers who treat their animals right, and providing full transparency to our customers. Open Farm was born out of simple idea that pet food can both be good for your pet, and do some good for farm animals and the environment, all at the same time.

    EPISODE 30: Oshen
    Nov 8 2023
    Founder Tonia Krauser created Oshen because she saw an opportunity in the beauty supply marketplace. She wanted to create her company, her way, informed by her values. Style? Check. Function? Check. Sustainability. Check. The result? Oshen is an intentionally eco-conscious lifestyle brand that blends these values together. Their flagship product is a stunning makeup case that is practical enough to store all of your beauty products, but beautiful enough to leave on your counter. Tonia was struck by the fact that there is an endless supply of plastic in our oceans, and more being added to waterways each day. Because plastic doesn't belong in our oceans, Oshen uses recycled ocean plastic and ocean-bound plastic to create their products. They source the recycled plastic from Oceanworks, the largest marketplace for ocean plastic, to ensure reliable traceability of materials. Working with an ethical factory overseas with experience using recycled materials, they produce design-forward, quality products that don’t sacrifice on style or functionality.
