  • Great podcast for ethical business owners

    This podcast is SO GOOD! As an anti-capitalist business owner, it can be difficult to find conversations and resources that are aligned with me or go deeper than surface level. This podcast is not only entertaining, but it is VALUABLE! It’s a reminder that we can have big dreams and still maintain our ethics. Thank you Sarah for this podcast!

  • Actually saying something

    A rare business podcast with a strong POV and the opinions that go with it. Not just general best practices! I recommend if you’re looking for a business philosophy that’s not rooted in bro culture.

  • Social Media Free

    The episode about business not relying on social media is a favorite. We’ve been sold a BS bill of goods that it’s required. I love hearing from others who are social free!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Legacy Are You Creating?
Q: Is legacy something you want or is it something we've been told we want?
The panelists say they want to shape their legacy intentionally, while recognizing that everyone leaves one. They prioritize present-day impact, personal values, and the effects of their work and relationships over fame or recognition across generations.
What Legacy Are You Creating?
Q: So I'm curious when you saw it, what stood out about it to you? Like, why was that something you were eager to talk about and what's coming up initially?
Regyna Curtis says she works with founders to document their knowledge and turn it into repeatable systems that can continue beyond them, and she is eager to discuss legacy from different perspectives.
144: Do Ethical High-Ticket Offers Exist? And How To Sell Them with Integrity
Q: What defines an ethical high-ticket offer in practice?
An ethical high-ticket offer centers on consent, transparency, clear expectations, and a focus on genuine transformation rather than pressure, with options like payment plans and accessible scholarship-like placements to broaden access.
Redefining Success as an Anti-Capitalist Entrepreneur
Q: What does time freedom mean to you in practical terms?
Time freedom means the ability to design days and weeks to fit personal needs while still working on the business when desired, taking care of health, family, and personal growth, and not feeling guilty about rest or time off.
Is Your Messaging Reductive? An Alternative to Pain-Based Marketing
Q: How should a business communicate with an audience in pain without resorting to cue-based, panic-driven tactics?
The guest suggests leaning into presence and support—sitting with the audience in their compost bin moment rather than pushing quick fixes—focusing on what changes for people because the business exists and how that change happens, not just what to do next.
