Episode description

Cally Russell is a born Entrepreneur.

Told from an early age that he wouldn't be very good at working for people, Cally set off on his own path (initially experiencing everything from DJ-ing to selling phones) and created a couple of businesses before founding Mallzee - the 'Tinder of fashion'.

We cover what exactly Mallzee is, Cally's background and the business lessons he's learnt on the way.

As this episode was recorded during the COVID-19 Pandemic - we cover what effect this has on retail, meeting customer's new expectations and the impact on factory workers across the globe.

That last part led Cally and the Mallzee team to creating Lost Stock - Due to Coronavirus, $2 billion worth of clothes have been produced but cancelled by retailers. Leaving million of workers in countries like Bangladesh unpaid, and at risk of starvation.

To avoid these items ending up in landfill, you can buy a box - with each one supporting a worker and their family for a week.
