🧿 How to Cultivate Creative Resilience — with Pascale Coté

Often when business isn’t going well, we think that we can fix it with a new marketing strategy or growth tactic.

🌾 Sacred Labor, Small Business & Anti-Capitalism — with Megan Leatherman

If you love your work but wish you never had to work, today’s episode is for you! This week I’m incredibly excited to be joined by anticapitalist teacher, writer, vocational guide, and naturalist: Megan Leatherman of [A Wild New Work] (https://awildnewwork.com/) .  In this conversation, we begin by defining capitalism and anti-capitalism alongside Silvia Federici’s book [Caliban and the Witch] (https://bookshop.org/a/84307/9781570270598) . Then we talk about why our labor is sacred, how to navigate the despair that comes with living under late-stage capitalism, and why slowing down is an important deconstruction of the status quo.  Here’s a preview of the rich wisdom Megan shares: ✨ No other organism works for someone else to get the money or currency they need to then go buy the food or shelter that they need. It’s really absurd. And it’s become more than an economic system. Now it’s a culture and a set of beliefs. ✨ Working in an anti-capitalist way, to me, means living in accordance to the rhythms of my body and the seasons, recognizing that there are times in the cycle of the year when things are really busy and a lot of growth is happening and that gets mirrored in my work, but then there are also times that require a quieter, slower approach. And those all build off one another for a healthy, sustainable life. ✨ You know what you need. You are a human animal in a body who has rhythms and cycles, and you can trust those. They’re not usually convenient to capitalism, because they’re not as productive as a machine. But you can trust them.  And if you love our conversation, be sure to check out Megan's next class, [Composting Capitalism] (https://awildnewwork.com/composting-capitalism) !  👋  Thinking of leaving social media?

👀 How to Be Seen Off Social Media — Visibility & Bias with N. Chloé Nwangwu

Welcome to season four of Off the Grid! Today I’m joined by everybody’s favorite brand scientist, N. Chloé Nwangwu of [NobiWorks] (https://www.nobiworks.com/lab-pass-off-the-grid-podcast) .  Chloé is here to talk about what brands are, why they matter, and how we can craft one that breaks past visibility biases.  This conversation is also an extension of our season three finale where I explored [how to feel seen off social media] (https://offthegrid.fun/shownotes/feel-seen-off-social-media) . Because in this episode, Chloé explains how to actually be seen off social media — including why so many of us are underrecognized ( [not underrepresented!] (https://hbr.org/2023/04/why-we-should-stop-saying-underrepresented) ) and how to craft a circle of recognition that makes sure we’re actually seen and heard.   Here are just a few of the amazing things Chloé says in this conversation: ✨ All social media is interested in doing is farming and selling attention. It’s not interested in the process of visibility — which is gaining, maintaining, and translating attention. ✨ You are not social media’s client. You are their product. ✨ For some of us, it’s like we have an invisibility cloak on. So no matter what right moves we are making or how avidly we are participating in social media or the other tactics and strategies presented to us — we’re still doing that from underneath an invisibility cloak. ✨ You have to be the obvious choice before you make yourself an opportunity magnet. You don’t just want to be visible. You want to be noticed. You want to be remembered. And then you want people to be influenced by that memory to act. There’s a whole process.  I hope you enjoy this episode! And if you do, please send it to a friend, so they can enjoy the rest of season four, too!   👋  Thinking of leaving social media?
