Business as Activism with Elijah Selby

Dismantling Hustle Culture is a crucial step in dismantling the Patriarchy and systems of oppression. This is what I dive into for my first SOLO EPISODE! I've been wanting to do this for a long time. HUSTLE CULTURE. What is it? Is it good for us? Does it cause harm? How does it cause harm? Why can we find it inspiring? And most importantly, how we are all being massively GASLIT regarding the idea of HUSTLE. If you're not sure why or how that can be, please take a listen--and let me know what you think!

Buckle your seatbelt! If you like controversial hot takes about social media, sex work, mental health and feminism, this episode is for you! I'm joined by Angela Morris, Social Media Strategist, to talk about the origins of social media platforms founded and run by cis, white, het men… AND how they are built upon the unpaid labor of women who those same platforms ultimately censor and shadow-ban. We discuss sex workers' influence on the popularity of social media itself, and the parallels between them and feminist entrepreneurs marketing their businesses on social media (turns out we're not so different in the eyes of Mark Zuckerberg). Angela's passion for helping women and queer folks to reclaim their time, energy and mental health from the pitfalls of social media has led her to create a program called Quiet Quitting Instagram. You're definitely going to want to hear about it, and you'll be thinking about this episode long after you've finished listening.

Doing the work of dismantling the Patriarchy and all the other systems of oppression that are inherent in our society takes work--and that work never ends, really. There's just a lot to learn and understand and undo. Emily Roh, Antiracist Coach and Facilitator, does a beautiful job of walking us through the intrapersonal journey and the interpersonal journey. Of course we cannot possibly cover allllllll the things in one conversation, however there's a lot of us to learn and reflect on in this episode! Enjoy!

February 1st begins Black History Month and Ro Nwosu and I jump right in to what that means for Black business owners. We talk about performative vs. genuine lifting up of Black voices and business. Ro shares her experience and insight on being a Black women in business, expectations, the importance of respecting people's time and energy, and what good partnerships look like (hint--they don't just partner up for one month a year). We dive into cultural messaging and how it is spread...and how the simple question of, "How can I help?" can make a huge difference. How you speak to people matters. And really---soooooooo much more. Ro is so generous and we could have talked for days.

Discussions around disability tend to be muted and even silenced, which is why this episode is SO CRUCIAL to listen to. Melinda Martin is an inclusive brand strategist leading entrepreneurs to set the standard of disability inclusion in their industries. Melinda is really incredible and you're going to love her as much as I do. As she says in the conversation, "..we [need to] get really loud about...disability inclusion, which is representation as well as accessibility within your business experience." As a disabled person herself, Melinda has knowledge and compassion to guide us through this important conversation. I know that the knowledge in this episode is pivotal to all of us expanding our understanding of inclusion and disabilities in general. I'm so glad you're listening!

Whew! We talk about alllllll the things in this conversation! But the topic that is woven through the entirety is White Supremacy. Growing up, White Supremacy meant skinheads, extreme hate groups, Nazis...but the term means something different now. What exactly is White Supremacy and how is it showing up? How are we participating in it? How do we unravel it? Erin-Kate Escobar (they/them) is a DEI and anti-racist strategist and points out that when we engage in practices that center dominant norms we are often reinforcing the patriarchy and all the systems of oppression and harm that we are living in and under. This episode is going to expand your understanding on so many important topics. Thank you for being here, for learning, for sharing, and for making the world a better place!

The workplace is not working for women, especially women with marginalized identities; women of color, black and brown women especially, lesbian women, trans women, women with disabilities, and even women who are moms. Femily, Silicon Valley's Gender and Equity Advisor, and I talk about the ways these inequities show up. Femily also shares her wisdom on why people shy away from conversation on race, gender, and identity. And under the "what can we do differently" column, Femily makes a powerful distinction between being a mentor and being a sponsor. This episode is hugely illuminating!

Appropriation is a word we hear a lot these days however, many people are unclear what it actually means. Trevia Woods, a mixed-race woman with indigenous ancestors, walks us through exactly what appropriation is, why it is important, how it causes harm, and gives us tools to help us decipher what is and ins't appropriation in our own lives.

How does Patriarchy and dominant culture affect our understanding of time? Think: Hustle Culture, the need to stay busy, the push for productivity...these are all things we take for granted and at least a part of us feels that they are TRUE--especially when it comes to the need to be productive. Ixchel walks us through what decolonization is and how it applies to our concept of time. She unpacks the connection of time, space, and land and how that has us see time differently. We are walked through how European colonialism and culture has affected our view of time and how it is wreaking havoc for us!

The idea of Power Over is what is woven into the fabric of our lives. It is what is modeled for us, and for most of us, it is a given that power equates with some level of harm and subjugation. It feels like that is the definition of power--irrefutable. However, there are other ways to practice power, namely Power With. Join in this conversation with Joanna Lindenbaum and begin to restructure your beliefs and assumptions of what power is.

We cannot change this world unless we understand exactly what it is we are trying to change. Dr. Morgana walks us through assumptions and beliefs that we are operating under that are causing harm. We delve into how toxic positivity, shame, and guilt are exploited in marketing copy to push people into buying things that don't actually serve them. We also talk about how conventions--for example, standards for consistency, way of setting goals, hustle culture-- emerge from the masculine, neurotypical way of being in the world and they are NOT the only way to do business.

Women and menstruators that do not have access to products to help them bleed with dignity during the time of menstruation suffer. They lose time in school, and they lose time at work. Alyx Coble-Frakes, period activist and owner of The Agenda Period is committed to being part of the solution of this gender equality issue that costs the global economy $160 trillion a year. Her company is committed to all menstruators having supplies, education, and empowerment around their cycle.

Kelly Diels has named those of us creating change in the world as Culture Makers. We literally change the culture by doing the work we do. If you're a listener of this podcast, you're someone who deeply gives a sh*t and is trying to make a difference--and yet, we know that we sometimes unknowingly cause harm.

We went both deep and wide in this far-reaching conversation about intent vs. impact, manipulative marketing (including a mini case study on a recent IG post), being socialized with overt racism, what our culture constitutes as believable and trustworthy and sooooo much more!

How have patriarchal norms influenced and affected how we lead? Leadership Specialist, Sile Walsh, points out that often when people think of Patriarchy they automatically split genders when the reality is that it is harmful to everyone. In the workplace it can look like harm by a top down power hierarchy, the need from external validation that bypasses inherent or intuitive decision making, and an emphasis on profit and exponential growth rather than a sense of purpose and fulfillment. As a result, our definition of a successful leader is absolutely limited by the system. We really go deep into roadblocks for good leadership, the difference between diversity and inclusion through an anti-oppressive lens, how we bring our unknown biases to our efforts to build inclusion, and so so so much more. You're truly going to love this episode.

The term "Girl Boss" was intended as a term of empowerment, and certainly at its inception, many women felt emboldened by it. However as the movement grew, and became more mainstream, the feminist ethos of it seem to have faded away, leaving the focus on individual wealth and success. My guest, Jess Khouri, examines the phenomenon of the Girl Boss and discusses how we can create a feminist business that truly makes a real impact and creates social change.

Holy cannoli, people! Joanna Lindenbaum is one of my mentors and I am so excited to bring this conversation about POWER to you all. Joanna is the creator of the Applied Depth Practitioner Institute & the Sacred Depths Transformational Practitioner Certification. We dive into power and look at how our culture is not set up and hasn't created messaging to show a healthy model of power. The current model we have is power OVER. This kind of power is oppressive and subjugates those who don't hold power. But there are other ways to hold power--power with. This is one of the most important conversations of our time, I believe. When we think about doing business in a way that creates change, we cannot disregard how we use our power.

After retiring as a dancer, Somatic Compassion Coach Amy Kubanek realized that performance wasn't kept just for the stage - it was in every area of her life. Society demands that we perform to impossible standards - moving the goalposts as we achieve, so that no matter how great we are, and how much we do, we are always reaching, always anxious, always worried someone will see behind the curtains. In her work now, she moves to radicalize each individual she comes across, with the simple idea of giving yourself permission to exist.

Penny Phoenix, the Anti-capitalist Entrepreneur, was pretty instantly successful when she took on entrepreneurship but as she learned and grew as a businessperson, she got clear that HOW she was taught to do business simply didn't feel good.

The idea that man has control of the earth and all that is on it--and that it is here for man's pleasure--runs very deep in the psyche of the Patriarchy.

Starting by examining the pervasive idea that success equals growth, Blue and Elijah unravel this notion -- or at least unpack why this is such a destructive idea. The idea that growth equals success fans out to may touch points including wage disparity, introducing different questions to ask and think about when it comes to success, and how it is so important for people on the front line of change to do things differently so that the people that cannot imagine a different world, can see what is possible.

In this episode, Lauren deftly gives us permission to slow down, check in, and move in our business in ways that not only feel better for us, but feel better for our world as well. Listen courageously, as she and Elijah explore all the ways we can make marketing, offers, and the world of business actually work for us.

If you're in online business, you probably recognize all of these as tools of the trade. But does it have to be this way? Dr. Morgana is a powerful woman with an incredible story, and so much insight to share, that we couldn't fit it all into one podcast. In this conversation, Elijah and Dr. Morgana dive into the normalization of toxic positivity, how that is weaponized inside marketing and online business, and how those same toxic ideas echo through our society, reverberating through our relationships and self-identity. Once a stripper, and now a mother, and an author-to-be with a doctorate in Intersectional Feminism, Dr. Morgana will blow your mind as she pulls back the curtain on how our reality and identity are co-created with relationships, social constructs, and most importantly, our love for ourselves.

Wish you knew what you could do to save the planet? What if the answer was actually doing LESS? Decolonization is the strong foundation of Ixchell Lunar's feminist work. Take a moment to hop off the hamster wheel, and listen to a brilliant JEDI activist blow your mind as she reveals the insidious ways that colonialism has seeped into every part of our lives (including how we keep track of and value time). Slow down with Elijah and Ixchell, as they navigate the possibilities of the culture and world we could have.

I want you to question things. This is how we begin. With a pinch of humor, a spot of game theory, and a metric ton of feminism, CV Harquail asks the question "What is a business?" and then takes it ten steps further by asking us "What could a business be?". As an author, management scholar, consultant, writer and toolmaker, CV is no stranger to speaking her mind and fucking with the system. If you're ready to take your feminist business, and start REALLY shifting the foundations of society - this episode is for you.

Instead of a free car, you get a podcast episode with Feminist entrepreneur and CEO of The Feminine Rising, Elijah Shannon Selby diving into the concept of "baking justice into business" with Kelly Diels, the Feminist Marketing Consultant who helps feminist entrepreneurs sell without selling out. In this conversation, they discuss how injustice is already present not only in our businesses, but in the assumptions we make and the beliefs we hold about what we can do to make change. Elijah and Kelly grapple with the ideals and struggles of feminism, and offer insight into what power we already have to stand up and make some real change (without needing the funds to give everyone in our audience a car).

Welcome to the Business as Activism Podcast where we are going to uncover all the effed up ways we've been doing business. We're going to look at how doing business in the current paradigm is causing harm and perpetuating a system that is unjust. And we are going to get excited about new and better ways to do business that actually bring about healing and contribute to changing the world. I'm your host, Elijah Selby, Feminist Business Coach and I passionately believe that how we do business makes a difference and is one of the most powerful ways we can start to dismantle current paradigms of harm and work towards a more just world. I'm here to learn as much as you are and am so excited to dig into these conversations with world-changers. I hope you take away new understandings and inspiration for doing your business differently--and that you understand that Business is Activism!
