This podcast episode explores the inspiring journey of Captain Jay, the founder of PoM (Peace of Mind™ ... Happy Life!), an eco-conscious fashion brand dedicated to merging sustainable practices with mindful living.

PoM challenges traditional fashion by taking a "slow fashion" approach, aiming to reduce waste and emphasize quality over quantity. With a career that spans both sailing and economic engineering, Captain Jay brings a unique perspective to the fashion industry, creating a brand that stands for more than just clothing; it represents a movement towards environmental responsibility, ethical production, and intentional consumption.

Through a lively dialogue, two journalists delve into PoM’s practices, including its commitment to fair labor, sustainable sourcing, and innovative materials like algae and mycelium. These biomaterials offer promising alternatives to traditional textiles, minimizing environmental impact while bringing new possibilities to sustainable fashion.

PoM also focuses on transparency, aiming for a fully audited supply chain by December 2, 2025, aligning with the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. The print-on-demand model employed by PoM further reduces waste by creating products only when ordered, helping to address the staggering levels of waste generated by the fashion industry.

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in a meaningful conversation about the broader implications of sustainable fashion, the complexities of global supply chains, and how PoM is spearheading a shift in consumer consciousness.

Listeners are encouraged to consider their own impact on the environment and the importance of supporting brands like PoM, which prioritize ethics and mindfulness. This is more than just fashion – it’s about redefining our relationship with what we wear, reducing waste, and creating a happier, healthier planet for all.

Tune in for insights, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on the role of fashion in our lives!
