In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Kemp, the passionate owner of Bare Kind, a brand of bamboo socks that’s on a mission to save endangered animals one step at a time.

What began with a desire to create a feel-good product has grown into a purpose-driven business that partners with over 30 animal charities, donates 10% of profits, and makes every sock design count.

What I love about this conversation is how grounded Andrew is in the belief that consumer products can—and should—do good. We talk about sustainability, giving back, building a business in the UK and beyond, and why even something as simple as socks can become a platform for impact and joy. If you’re building a brand or just want to shop more consciously, this one’s for you.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

* How animal welfare and e-commerce collided to spark Bare Kind

* The surprising power of giving 10% to charity and doing it transparently

* Why bamboo is better for people, the planet, and your feet

* How Bare Kind designs socks that start conversations and build community

* Lessons on scaling a mission-driven brand without losing its soul

Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode and discover how a pair of socks can help save the planet—one animal and one customer at a time. Whether you’re an animal lover, sustainability enthusiast, or brand builder, Andrew’s story will leave you inspired.
