Julia Jones On Social Supermarkets + Modern Professional Roles

"Just because we think differently doesn't mean someone's a bad person," Jones asks.

International Keynote Speaker and Real Optimism Podcast host Julia Jones chats to Dom about the concept of social supermarkets, the topic of her conversation with Foodstuffs North Island Social Supermarket Lead Carmen Sutton.

Jones delves into some of the specific details from the podcast, explaining what the concept of social supermarkets actually means, how it works and why it can offer an improvement on the traditional supermarket system.

She also talks about how societal changes are affecting professionals like police officers and teachers who are now having to juggle roles akin to social workers and mental health supporters on top of their regular day-to-day jobs.
