Big Brave Business: Business Ethics, Revolutionary Leadership and Human-First Entrepreneurship with Sarah Heeter

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 everyday to match your needs, your family's needs, and your capacity.

Buckle up - this isn't just another anti-hustle, self care podcast episode like you've heard so many times before.

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 entrepreneurial success is fundamentally designed to serve capitalism, not entrepreneurs.

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 don't have.

Erin Perkins is deafblind, but you might not notice at first glance. She relies on a hearing aid and cochlear implant for hearing, without which she's profoundly deaf. Her vision is limited to 50 degrees, so if she doesn't wave back when you do, it's likely she didn't see or hear you. Working with independent business owners, coaches, and mentors opened her eyes to the widespread lack of accessibility awareness. This led her to focus on accessibility education. Erin is passionate about teaching businesses to be more accessible, using her personal experiences to promote true inclusion at every level. Her mission is to make the world more accessible, one business at a time.

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 element of running a small business. But, it can also be intimidating and overwhelming. So today's episode is all about policy that impacts us as small business owners.

The online business world is having a collective breakdown.

Everywhere I look, entrepreneurs are questioning everything: their offers, their messaging, their entire business models. The narrative is consistent: "Nothing's working anymore." "People aren't buying." "Maybe I should just give up."

But what if the problem isn't your business? What if the problem is that capitalism taught you to extract value from overwhelmed customers, and people are finally saying no?

Here we go with a really big and brave conversation. I brought together some incredible entrepreneurs and accessibility advocates to dig into what true accessibility in business actually looks like. Honestly, when you hear about the diversity of accessibility needs, it can feel overwhelming and expensive—it's tempting to just keep doing what you've always done. But this roundtable pushes us to think about accessibility completely differently, and these guests share practical ways that all businesses, no matter the size, can do better without starting from scratch.

One thing the internet loves to talk about: the problems with the upcoming generation. I always took so much of the millennial commentary personally, until I realized every single generation gets the same judgment. In a world that is rapidly changing with evolving technology, ways of work, politics, and more... I thought it would be super interesting to bring a group of thought leaders together to explore how the way of work and leadership is changing for Gen Z and Generation Alpha.
