Business as Activism with Elijah SelbyHow to Lead Now with Dr. Dee FrayneToday I have a crucial conversation with Dr. Dee Frayne to discuss the importance of values-based integrity, influence, and impact in leadership.

Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.”― Naomi Wolf. No wonder women are in a constant argument with our bodies. No wonder we are disconnected from our bodies--and we see them as "other." And yet, the relationship with our bodies is the most important relationship we have. Nina Manolson brings so much love, compassion, wisdom, and soul to the conversation we are having with and around our bodies. What bec...2023-09-0554 min

Business as Activism with Elijah SelbyWhy There is So Much Anti LGBTQ+ LegislationWhy has there been over 525 anti LGBTQ+ laws introduced in this country in 2023? This is absolutely by design. It has become what is called a "wedge issue" by the Republican party and it has been successful in bringing back the "traditional family" narrative stronger than ever. This is, of course, by design. The fact is, democracy is under attack and authoritarianism is on the rise. I frame what's happening looking through the systemic lens. I also talk about what we can do!
