THE QUESTION
What does it mean to do good business in a world that sometimes rewards our silence?
When we talk about building businesses, we rarely talk about the courage it takes to refuse to leave our values at the door. We aren't here to play small or build systems that ask us to compromise who we are just to turn a profit.
Stories are sacred infrastructure. What story is shaping us? What story could set us free?
Good business can generate revenue.
Good trouble can change the world.
And I want us to make room for both.
THE CONVERSATION
