81: Core Values, Political Views, and Activism for Business Leaders

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter

I was thrilled this week to welcome Brooke and Tristan of the Reimagining Online Business podcast. If you haven't listened to their show, I can't recommend it enough. Their wry humor and sarcasm right from the first few minutes had me hooked, and I knew by the end of episode 1 that I had to have them both on Big Brave Business.

One of the things that Brooke and Tristan are so passionate about is running businesses ethically - which is complicated to do as anti-capitalists in a capitalist world. The more you are aware of the heinous atrocities and human rights violations happening worldwide that are woven into everything we do and the way we engage with our economy, the harder it can be to see (and follow) the light. Is there such a thing as running and growing a business as an anticapitalist founder? We explore this topic and more in today's episode.
