"In the colonial white supremacist system, there is no community. There's only power, but there's no community. But that doesn't mean that we have to abide by that model. We can create a new model. So in a way, it's exciting. But it's also terrifying. Because what does that look like without a blueprint"

Meet Doctora Nicole Cabrera Salazar (She/They/Ella), astrophysicist turned social impact entrepreneur, and founder & CEO of Movement Consulting, a company dedicated to transforming academic environments into radically nourishing spaces for marginalized people by providing virtual courses, workshops, and expert advice.

In this special interview episode of Power Pivot, join Leela and Dra. Nicole in a conversation about community, loneliness, Zapatistas, toxic academic environments, and reclaiming power from colonialist structures and using it for the good of our communities.

it's six am and I'm trying to beat the clock. Where do climate change and immediacy and action and just wanting time for oneself collide?

A short poem.

I'm ending the hiatus, but I'm coming back a little less polished.

"Once you use intensive and expansiveness to develop a job description, to do some hiring, to do some delegation, you can't unsee it. Once you've seen it, it's everywhere. And it's not the only metric you use. But it is a metric that you use consistently. So that you can imagine who will be most successful at what."

We're going to take a little bit of a break, but before we do: let's talk about hiring, and delegation, and intensives & expansives. Understanding the intensiveness or expansiveness of the people in your team can help you bring people in and assign tasks in a way that sets everyone up for success. And remember, even though you mostly vibe with intensives (if you're an intensive), you still need expansives. And vice versa. We need each other. So let's not do this alone.

As mentioned, we will be taking a bit of a break and slowing down the release schedule during March. We have a great interview coming up, which will drop on Wednesday, March 20th. Until then, remember that there are lots of episodes and interviews from seasons 1 & 2, so you can always wander through the catalog and find something to listen to in the meantime.

Thank you all for listening, and for your continued support! Talk soon.

Paul Baron: "what they really liked about the wall printer, which is what I'm most proud of, is that every customer we have, becomes a new company. Everybody that buys a wall printing machine establishes a company around this machine, or they've added a revenue stream to an existing company."

Let us introduce you to Paul Baron, a self-described "serial entrepreneur," who shares insights from his fifty-something year career in sales, and running businesses like restaurants, sporting goods, and beyond. Paul and Leela talk about revenue-sharing models for employees, the risks and rewards of going into business for yourself, pricing your labor and your services, and Paul's latest business venture: The Wall Printer.
