David Laity - Where there's a Goodwill, there's a Good Way

Black Saturday will always be remembered as one of the worst days in the history of Victoria.

But it should also be remembered as the day that David Laity was forced to think about his life, and his purpose.

His media production company AND side hustle were both destroyed by the horrific fires which burnt so much of northern Victoria, and took so many lives.

He and his partner were literally was left with nothing except a small amount of possessions, and their dog.

Thanks to the generosity of so many Australians, charities were able to give essentials and money to the victims to help get them back on their feet.

But David decided to take a different path.

Instead of buying essentials to get back to normality, he decided to use the money to start a business which was designed to give back, and raise money for the charities which helped him out in his time of need.

And so, Goodwill Wine was created.

Goodwill wines rescues high quality wine which has been bottled, but for some reason or another, hasn't been sold and is sitting, gathering dust in the back of a vineyards warehouse.

Often, It's something as simple as the wrong colour lid was used, and other times, the company who ordered the wine has gone out of business, leaving the vinyeard with a surplus.

David hand chooses each batch, re labels them, and sells them on his website goodwillwine.com.au

Each purchase raises money for a charity of the buyers choice
and recently Goodwill Wine celebrated reaching the $500,000 donated milestone.
You read that correctly, HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!!
Unreal isn't it!!

It's a beautiful confluence of good outcomes, and we love it so much.

David is a good guy, and I'm so glad we got to interview him on The Good People Podcast
