We’ve all seen TikTok Shein hauls. We’ve seen the insurgence of “Boo Baskets.” We’ve seen the Stanley Cups, proudly displayed on an entire wall. We’ve seen the increase in influencer marketing, uptick of overconsumption, and destruction of our world in the name of profits.
It makes sense that a response to this late-stage capitalist materialism is a booming second-hand market. Is this industry a more ethical answer? Can we really turn to the last vestiges of communal support via garage sales and Buy Nothing Groups as a last resort?
Sami Womack, founder of A Sunny Side Up Life and budgeting coach, joins us to discuss the gentrification of thrifting, overconsumption and unfettered capitalist waste.
In this episode you’ll learn more about:
- The pros and cons of the second hand industry
- Why thrift store prices have ballooned (and where the blame heavily lies)
- Answering the question: Is thrifting ethical?
- Sami’s auctioneer and reselling background, how to get started thrifting and buying second hand + more
