In this debut episode, I sit down with Austin Zimmerman, co-owner of Ganesh Himal Trading Company to talk about the importance of relationships, how to leverage marketing as a wholesale business and and what it means to be a conscious consumer . Austin has been with Ganesh Himal for the past 6 years but within the last year, she took on a new roll as co-owner with Denise Attwood. Ganesh Himal was founded in 1987 by Denise Attwood and Rick Conner. Together they built a business founded on building relationships and became pioneers in the fair-trade industry.
