In this episode, I walk through the four main areas I'm focused on for growth in 2026 (plus a bonus fifth way that's accelerating everything).

You've probably heard the sales advice to share who your offer is NOT for. But it usually gets misused into meaningless phrases like "this isn't for you if you're not ready to invest in yourself." In this episode, I'm sharing the four prequalifying criteria I use to help people assess if they're ready for a podcast (spoiler: it usually takes 3-5 years in business to have these locked in). And why...

In this episode, my guests and I challenge traditional business systems that force neurodivergent entrepreneurs into rigid, capitalist molds designed for "worker bees" rather than diverse minds. We explore how to dismantle hierarchical, one-size-fits-all approaches in favor of flexible, accommodation-first practices that prioritize individual capacity and joy over external productivity metrics. Ra...

In this week's Big Brave Business episode, Hady, Erika, Kirsten and I get brutally honest about the real barriers to pay equity in entrepreneurship. The invisible infrastructure.

Most business models are designed as if leaders are machines that never need accommodation, seasonal adjustments, or basic human recovery time. But what if the most radical thing you could do for your business is build rest into the foundation? This isn't about backpacking through Bali or luxury hotels (though no judgment if that's your thing). It's about having the flexibility to shape your every...

American capitalism was built on racial exploitation, from the enslavement of Black people to institutionalized discrimination and its structural impact on our nation's economic and legal systems. This foundation didn't disappear when we moved to digital spreadsheets and analytics dashboards. It evolved. Here's what the business world won't tell you: most of the data we use to measure entrepreneur...

Here's what I've learned from successful entrepreneurs who navigate multiple marginalized identities: They're not succeeding despite their complex realities. They're succeeding because of them. When you can't follow the standard playbook, you're forced to innovate. Your intersectional identity isn't a business challenge to overcome. It's market intelligence that traditional entrepreneurs simply do...

Y'all know I'm not into too much 'woo' and spiritual stuff, but one thing I have been dipping my toes into is the anthropology of how we became who we are today - both as individuals as well as a collective society. My friend Regyna is back on the podcast today to chat about the historical roots of our natural instinct for resistance to change and innovation. Connect with Regyna: Regyna Curtis is...

My entire career, I've heard entrepreneurs and leaders in business talk about the importance of building business in a policy vacuum. Whether it's because they think it's irrelevant, they don't want to alienate consumers, or they're afraid of getting canceled, the excuses are endless... realistically though, apolitical business is a myth. Especially in times like these. Policy impacts every elemen...
