Liberatory Business with Simone Seol

So many of us are settling for lives we never failed at.
Those are lives that were never really lived in, either. 
This episode is your permission slip to start failing more, today, at the things that actually matter to you.
It might just be the most beautiful way to live.

If you've ever felt like all you're doing is regurgitating other people's ideas or repackaging your teacher's frameworks, this one is for you. Your original thinking has never mattered more, and I'm going to teach you how to have more original ideas.
Listen to hear more about:
Why the world needs your thought leadership now — especially if you've been marginalized by existing power structures
What original ideas actually feel like in your body (hint: it's not angels singing)
The everyday genius move your brain is already doing that you've been ignoring
Why the people with the most distinctive points of view aren't thinking more — they're doing this 10 times more
Ready to be more original? Let's go.

If you've ever called yourself lazy, or wondered what's wrong with you for not being able to just sit down and do the thing — this episode is for you.
What if "procrastination" is just the wrong word for what you're actually doing? 
Maisie Cheong and I talk about:
Why we internalize the identity of "procrastinator"
What invisible work is, why it matters — and what our ancestors knew about it
Why the people who are always busy "getting things done" might be the least equipped to handle what's coming
How to get higher quality work out of yourself by changing the way you talk to yoruself

This is my love to courageous ones everywhere.
People aren't just listening to what you say.
They're listening to how you're saying it.
If you're saying something that's worth saying... whatever it is, say it with your full chest. 
Say it like you believe yourself.
It matters.

Why is the deepest business wisdom you can find NOT in an online course?
That's because it lives in Asian noodle stalls, kitchen hair salons, and family businesses run by aunties and uncles who've never heard of Canva. 
Let's learn from the quiet, unglamorous experts who've been turning high margins for decades.
Listen to hear more about:
Why the businesses that look like the "before" picture might actually be the "after" — and what that reveals about what we've been chasing
The four lessons that traditional family businesses can teach us that most online business advice directly contradicts
How a store owner managing 3,000 SKUs from memory and extending credit to 200 families exposes the limits of "relationship marketing"
What my always-overbooked, never-online mother-in-law knows about demand that most funnel strategies get completely backwards
So many of us are ignoring the people who've been quietly building generational wealth without a branding consultant in sight. This episode is your invitation to apprentice yourself to a much older, much wiser tradition of business.
