In Heart-Centered Business: Healing from toxic business culture so your small business can thrive, Sufi spiritual business teacher Mark Silver, M.Div. speaks to those who hate the toxic way business has developed, and want an approach to business that is as nourishing as it is powerful.
The effects of global business have brought devastation and injustice that no one wants. Instead, we yearn for beauty and real vibrancy in the world around us, and healthy heart-centered business must be part of the healing.
This book is a guide to doing business, your business, in a truly spirit-centered way. We need to, and can, realize the truth that, as Mark says, every act of business can be an act of love.

"About Damn Time" is a parody of "About Damn Time", originally recorded by Lizzo. Parody lyrics by Lisa Robbin Young.
Pivot! It was one of the biggest buzzwords of 2020, thanks to the pandemic that shall not be named putting a monkey wrench into EVERYONE’S plans!
Not to brag, but I’ve been pivoting since before it was cool. I’ve probably done the pivot 5 or 10 times in my nearly 30 years online. I mean, nothing lasts forever and the only constant is change, right?
Last episode I talked about how Taylor Swift pivoted to a new music genre...and she’s not the only one. Fine artist Henri Matisse and lots of companies have started down one path, decided it’s not working for them (or has stopped working for them), and turned to something new.
So yes, pivots are a thing, and they absolutely CAN be done successfully, but how do you know if it is, in fact, time to pivot? Listen in to find out today.

In my hometown, there’s a concrete pump house situated between the train tracks and a T intersection by one of our high schools.
I’m pretty sure it’s a defunct building now because the hatch on the top has been painted shut for decades. You couldn’t get into it if you wanted to… although some folks have tried, and there are still a few citizens of the town who HAVE gone in there at some point in the past and lived to tell the tale.
We call it “the rock” - and we called it that long before Dwayne Johnson started wrestling in the 90s. It was first painted by students of that high school - “SWP Oh yeah!” That was the start of over 50 years of community building - through vandalism.
We used to joke that the rock must have originally been only a few feet wide, but years of paint had made it ginormous. A few years back, several inches of paint actually peeled off the rock, revealing layers of work from years past. The rock is so popular, it has its own facebook page.
So the question of the day: How does a rock get its own facebook page? Tune in below to find out!

I LOVE me some thrift store shopping! If you have the patience and enjoy treasure hunts, you can come up with some fantastic finds!
As a kid though, I didn’t see the attraction. I grew up in a welfare family, so hand-me-downs constituted the bulk of my wardrobe - and I was the oldest girl, so I was handing them down again! To me, thrift stores were full of hand-me downs, and cheap-o, secondhand crap. Why would I want to be there?
But now? I actually enjoy browsing the shelves, looking for those hidden gems that will make my life better. Like I said, you just never know when you’ll find something that can change your life.
I’ve bought and used all kinds of second-hand treasures. Many of which I later donated again for someone else to enjoy.
Why am I prattling on about thrift stores on a business podcast? Because you can do the same thing with your content! You can uncover the hidden gems in your existing content by doing a treasure hunt of sorts and sharing those golden nuggets with the world.
We call it content repurposing, and you can get a lot more mileage from one piece of long-form content if you do it.
Together we're going to walk you through how you can uncover the hidden gems in your existing content by doing a treasure hunt of sorts and sharing those golden nuggets with the world.

We're back with our first **official** episode of our Season 6 re-launch. Our bonus episode last week gave you the explanation for that.
Our earlier episodes of Season 6 laid the groundwork for what we’re talking about today: your content strategy. If you’ve missed those or you need a refresher, you may want to pop back to the beginning of Season 6 to see what you’ve missed. We’ve talked about how to make sure your content strategy is sustainable, and how to narrow in so you’re actually getting some visibility. This episode, we’re gonna teach you how to build out your strategy.
