Farmers are given corrupt pricing and predatory loans that trap them in debt. Locals call this \"copra slavery\". Dignity Made customers are fighting back—with fair trade, jobs, clean water, and education. Over 2,000 people have escaped \"copra slavery\".\nIn this episode, Kim sits down with Erik Olson, CEO of Dignity Made, and talks about how the company helps at-risk Filipinos by providing them with safe and meaningful jobs, offering them stability and a chance to thrive. These opportunities not only protect them from exploitation but also empower them to build better futures for themselves and their families.\ndignitymade.com\n@dignity.made","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qWaDnkjD5y9g1kt8CcrSHTOZHUa_dwSCuqiuuc3LgEo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYzg5/M2FmNzQ4Y2RhN2Rl/ODIwMDBmMDMwMmUx/NTEyYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
