Hey listeners, people often ask me how they can return the favor for all the free content that I provide and I really appreciate that so here's a few simple and free ways you can help.

The first thing is to share the show on social media like Facebook and Twitter which is really important in helping the show reach new people and I'm super grateful when you guys do it.

Second, give the show a rating and a review on iTunes that really helps us out with the algorithm and boost visibility.

So that's it. Thanks so much and onto the show.

I mean I think that we're all living at a really special moment in history and I think we have the ability to look at the impact we're having on the world and we have the ability to be a part of the kind of world we want to have or to be a part of the destruction that we say we're against.

That's filmmaker Andrew Morgan and this is the Retro podcast.

The Retro podcast.

Greetings everybody. Welcome. My name is Retro. I'm your host. Welcome to the Retro podcast. The show where each week I sit down with all kinds of wildly inspiring and provocative personalities across a wide spectrum of topics that all sort of pivot on this theme of positive living.

This theme of connecting with accessing unlocking and ultimately fully expressing your best most authentic self. So I have a really great show for you guys today.

Very excited about it and I thought I would kick it off with a little anecdote, a little story that ends with a question.

So when I was young I turned 50 this year so I'm dating myself but when I was young going shopping for new clothes was like a treat it was special.

It was infrequent maybe you did it back to school in the fall or perhaps one time before summer starts.

But today it seems like this is something that goes on every weekend. 52 weeks out of the year go to any mall and it's almost like stores are giving this stuff away you can get jeans for $10 you can get t-shirts for four bucks you can literally fill a closet in certain stores for under $100.

Everything is so incredibly cheap all of a sudden and you can't help but wonder how is this possible I mean what exactly is going on here so today we're going to unpack this issue and I really think that it's going to blow your mind.

Today's guest is Andrew Morgan he is the young filmmaker behind a beautiful and heartbreaking and dare I say important quote marks documentary entitled the true cost it premiered it can and it's a film about clothing it's about the clothes we wear it's about the people who make them and the impact that this industry the fashion industry is having on our world.

And I got a whole bunch of things all kinds of things important foundational things I want to say about Andrew and his movie before we get into the interview but first today's episode is brought to you by bowl and branch the first honest and transparent betting company.

So this is a new show sponsor and I think they're a very interesting direct to consumer start up with a business model and a philosophy that is quite apropos quite synergistic with the subject matter of today's podcast so look if you listen to my show in particular my episodes with Ariana huffington and Sean Stevenson then you know that getting a great night of sleep is super important to me I always strive to get eight hours and I think it's critical in your journey to unlock your best self well.
