Ep.90-Making Work Work for Everyone

June 17, 2025 • 38 mins
Making Work Work for Everyone: Why Real DEI Is More Than a Buzzword This week on The Seed, I welcomed back someone I deeply admire—Stacey Gordon. She’s not just a global leadership strategist and DEI expert… she’s a truth-teller, a disruptor, and someone who has been doing this work long before it became a corporate checkbox.

June 3, 2025 • 7 mins
Already In It: Stop Waiting to Arrive There’s this narrative out there that if you don’t have a massive following, your business isn’t legitimate. That unless you’ve hit 10K+ on Instagram, have a flood of email subscribers, or go viral at least once a month, you’re somehow behind. Let me call that out for what it is: complete BS. Founder and CEO of Dandelion-Inc Here’s the truth I wish more entrepreneurs knew from the start:You d...

May 27, 2025 • 32 mins
Sales Without the Ick: Real Talk with the Sales Maven There’s this word that makes a lot of entrepreneurs—especially women—tense up just hearing it:Sales. We’ve been conditioned to believe that selling has to feel pushy or performative. That if we’re not following a slick script or mastering every objection, we’re doing it wrong. But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way? This week on The Seed, I sat down with the incre...

May 20, 2025 • 16 mins
How to Lead and Grow a Community While Growing Yourself Let me tell you something I’ve learned the long, messy, beautiful way: you do not need to have it all figured out before you start building something that matters. We tend to think that in order to lead, we need to be 10 steps ahead. That to create a business, a network, a movement, or even a support group, we need to have the credentials, the perfect plan, and all the confide...

Growth Doesn’t Happen in a Silo: Lessons from Linda McKissack   If there’s one thing I will keep shouting from the rooftops, it’s this: connections don't happen when you stay hidden away.
