  • So relatable

    It’s nice to find a biz podcast that isn’t brimming with hacks or tips and tricks but actual human conversations about the deeper stuff - ethics, morals, humanity - that all feed into our everyday as business owners. Love listening to Sarah and her guests. She always asks questions that mean something as opposed to sticking to surface level shiz. BBB rocks

  • So few podcasts aimed at entrepreneurial women with “meat” to them

    Great listen. She talked me out of a digital course and into changing the way I tell my entrepreneurship story. Love the vibe and the content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Is Your Messaging Reductive? An Alternative to Pain-Based Marketing
Q: Talk to me about what led you to develop the Regenerative Story Framework.
Pia explains how Storybrand felt reductive for nuanced, values-based clients and how she found inspiration in The Heroine's Journey and Gail Carriger's ideas to create a framework that emphasizes community, regeneration, and a more complex view of audience journeys.
How to Build an Ethical Business: Scaling Without Extraction
Q: What does liberating business entail beyond generic hustle versus rest?
The host and Becky discuss prioritizing people over profits, setting boundaries, and considering both financial and social costs to ensure decisions align with values, with an emphasis on accountability and continuous learning.
How to Build an Ethical Business: Scaling Without Extraction
Q: Why did Becky decide to write this book and focus on liberating business inside a broken system?
Becky explains that writing the book allowed her to consolidate philosophy across podcasts and work, provide a unified reference, and amplify marginalized voices she learned from while acknowledging it's a challenging but necessary project in a flawed system.
The Rise & Fall of DEI and Performative vs. Intentional Decision-Making
Q: How do you balance doing DEI work with concerns about cost or risk, especially when there is political pushback?
Focus on core values and long-term risk management: invest in inclusive hiring, accessible experiences, and authentic representation because customers and employees will reward truly values-driven companies even if there's short-term pushback; the goal is consistent action over time rather than quick, performative wins.
