Topics include the need for considered progress, taking care of your staff, vegan leather and how difficult it is for traditional goods to stay relevant in modern times.You can find Tim Little and Grenson on the web at grenson.com and on Instagram as @grensonshoesGarmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.
