My sister's new website, and Becky's new book

Happy Thursday Reader... Firstly, I'm SUPER excited to announce that, my sister just launched her first-ever online business! I'd say it was her first business, but my sister and I had our first money-making side hustles when we were kids. To be clear, I have nothing to do with her site. I'm not her coach. She is totally doing this on her own and I was honored that she consented to letting me share it with you. She's a pretty private person (she doesn't do ANY social media!), so I'm really happy to see her stepping out of her comfort zone and into her growth zone on this project. She's been designing T-shirts If you have a moment to spare, please visit and drop her a "congratulations" using the contact form on the site. She'd appreciate a warm welcome to the interwebs. And I appreciate your show of support for my sister! In other news... In "The Great Inbetween" that I find myself in right now, I'm having a LOT of conversations with all kinds of business owners. Big business, municipalities, non-profits, coaches, and more. Each of these convos is shaping my thoughts around what's next for business life after Creative Freedom. I've been invited to co-host a business podcast with someone I admire, among other things, and it's a time filled with promise for the future. While I won't go into any details about MY future direction here (my brand strategist would strangle me!), I AM sharing one of those conversations with you today. I met Becky Mollencamp YEARS ago, when I spoke inside her online community. Since that time, she's gone through a journey of unpacking some of the old ways she learned of doing business. That journey led her to write her book, Liberate Your Business: A radical guide for entrepreneurs who want to build without harm. In our interview, we talk about many of the concepts in the book, along with some of my favorite quotes from it. Plus we wrestle with the importance of giving credit where credit is due (particularly to underrepresented or marginalized voices), when you should call out a problematic business owner, and when you should probably "close your mouth and stay in your lane". Enjoy! - Lisa P.S. You can show major LOVE to Becky's book by requesting it from your local library. That's a free way to support authors with messages that matter to you. |

Heya Reader! Walmart is rolling out digital shelf labels, and the public suspicion is already high: Are prices going to change in real time?Will shoppers be tracked?Is this efficiency… or manipulation? To be fair, Walmart has said this isn’t about surge pricing. But companies have a long history of saying one thing and doing another, so the mistrust isn’t coming out of nowhere. Once customers start asking, “Can I trust how this price got here?” you’re no longer just making an operations...
Hello there Reader! Next week, I'm hosting a live sneak peek at what I'm calling the 4 Horsemen of Business Collapse. Think of it like one part lunch & learn, one part dress rehearsal. I'll be sharing more about the 4 tactics that every organization in the world uses to solve problems, make decisions, or navigate change: The Expansion Reflex Outsourced Certainty Quiet Compliance Command Leadership I'm not joking when I say EVERY organization. Including yours. I'll share a real case study from...
"There's no easy 'yes' here. They all have risk."That's what my brand strategist said to me as we were debating the different proposals submitted for my speaker reel project. There was no perfect offer. Each one had upsides and downsides. At one point, I kind of wanted to flip the tables and walk away."I'll just do it my own damn self," I thought to myself. It would be faster. It would probably cost a lot less. I'd have complete control of the project, and it would be "good enough." But then,...
