Our Culture Partner for this issue, Radical Yes, was founded ten years ago to create, design and sell shoes in a way that radically reframed how the Australian shoe industry was operating at the time — small batches of flat shoes to encourage a life lived under the mantras of ‘little and often’ and ‘hasten slowly’. Life and business don’t have to move at a rapid pace. We don’t have to constantly chase productivity. We can enjoy little bursts of productivity or rest as often as we like. It’s the flow of this balance that inspires the Radical Yes line of products. We spoke with three local women who inspire us to live a life full to the brim of both creativity and rest.
