What if Business Isn't How You Change the World?

A few weeks before we recorded this, Felicity told me she didn't know why she was still in my community, because she wasn't in business anymore.

I was up most of that night. 
Not from stress. 
From excitement.

She sat at a business event where everyone was being told to aim for being the CEO of your own business.

Her response: na, not for me. 

Then she worked out what she actually wanted to do with the rest of her life - and it isn't what anyone in the online business world would have told her to want.

This is a conversation about what happens when you stop escaping your life and build one you don't need to escape from.

And it totally confirmed to me that I was never about 'business' but about cheering on change-makers. 
 
Felicity Pryke wants to run the country. This is the conversation where she shares how she worked out her why - and it starts with 127 miles of canal, in the rain.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why the business bubble "buys and sells off each other" - and why she stepped out.
• The 127-mile canal walk, and the question she couldn't answer at the end of it.
• The two words she thought at the business event.
• Her philosophy of the satisfied life - and its four seasons.
• Where she's taking it instead of business.
• "I'm now the age I've always been."
• The funeral she was going to straight after we recorded.
• What she wants to be remembered for.

That was a few years ago. Since then Felicity wrote the book - Walk the Walk, the story of the canal and the philosophy it gave her, out now in paperback and on Kindle.

This episode is part of I Never Released These... The Lost Tapes, a special 12-part series featuring interviews I recorded between 2022 and 2024 that never made it into the world... until now.
