About this episode
Spin off sister projects:
- This is the more personal introverted side of the house that involves some introspection about how we’re all humans behind all this. We all have our own shit and these times in life that really threaten to derail everything that we do and all that we’ve worked for and everything we’ve built so far. I’m talking about those rough dark times that try to consume everything around is and are just the most difficult. I’m a firm believer in the idea that we all have our most difficult times and those most difficult times should never be compared to one another. They’re personal and subjective and it’s all the darkest times of our own lives in relation to all the other things we’ve experienced. I’m also a firm believer that just because there’s a most difficult time, doesn’t mean it’s happening in a vacuum. There’s also some light, levity, and learning happening at the same time. Life keeps going. All of those things can be happening at one time. And all of those things can be true at one time. It’s the bittersweet paradox of life.
- There’s also a weekly Writing Club where I post my actual real life journal entries along with a current day reflection & a writing prompt for you to think or write about (but only if you want to).
- This is me using the lessons that I’m learning through Capitalism for Good to build my dream business that gives back to the community in a way that feels right from top to bottom every step of the way. And in the spirit of Capitalism for Good, I’m documenting it along the way from the very beginning. From the actual step 1. We’ll start with a weekly blog where I outline the big picture full idea. Then we’ll move into pulling some other folks in to help me build along the way. If you follow along, you’ll really watch it happen in real time.
- The short term goal is to open a store in middle America that pushes the envelope of what a sustainable store looks like. I consider it the next phase of Capitalism for Good although there’s a lot of overlap and pieces will be happening concurrently. I really want to show what it’s like in the earliest of early days. I love talking to leaders in Capitalism for Good about how they got their start, so here I’m showing where this phase starts. It starts with the plans. The pitch. The background. The research. All the steps before what we often see in the launch stage.
