1. Sustainability, product design and selling shoes with Sam Burke

Sam Burke, co-founder of Tarkine joins Will and Hilary for our first Trail Chat. We first caught up with Sam in June 2022 as Tarkine's founding crowdfunding campaign was drawing to a close.  

  We caught up with Sam two years and thousands of pairs of Tarkine's later and got a first-hand account of what it's like to take on global shoe brands. 

Tarkine is a Perth-based running shoe company that strives to combine modern running technology with sustainable, well-made footwear.  During this chat, we learn about the challenges of making eco-friendly products and what it's like to see people wearing a product you laboured over in the wild.
