The Time is Now!
"Everything is broken, what a great time to be alive!"* The re-frame of this current moment in time is just one of the compelling conversations I had with BE Alink, the founder and inventor of The Alinker a non-motorized walking-bike without pedals. With an adjustable saddle and handlebars, it is custom designed to challenge society's assumptions about disability. Challenging assumptions and shifting paradigms is an everyday thing for BE, and necessary if you are going to build a movement with your business. Listen in to hear why BE thinks today is the perfect day to start.
In this episode we explore:
- The power of language and how it keeps us stuck
- How personal awareness is the key to transformation and growth
- Why all your uncomfortable experiences are critical to build grit and resilience
- How breaking out of your paradigm of 'making money' will unleash your imagination
- Why fixing problems isn't the way to cause the change you desire
- The beauty and creativity in being a weirdo!
With insane tenacity, commitment and dedication, BE Alink has built her company into a movement of people showing up for each other. BE only employs Alinker users (otherwise unemployed), pays everybody living wage (including herself), The Alinker has certified BCorp status, she is a SheEO venture, is more than carbon neutral, and practically plastic free.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
