Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Why Business Leaders Refuse to Be Brave About DEIBWe all remember the rise of emphasis on DEIB following George Floyd's murder and the increased attention on the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. But shortly after, in 2023, those DEIB programs and priorities started declining. Now, there is almost a point of pride among companies retiring their DEIB programs and ERGs. My guest today, Michelle Beauchamp, came to me wanting to talk about why this is happening and what are the repercussions. And, in full transparency, we recorded this just 7 days after the 2024 Presidential Election (how appropriate that, with our emotions and anger running high, this episode originally aired...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter BONUS REPLAY: The Problem with the Course Creation IndustryAlright besties, I'll level with you. I used to have an online course, and I HATED IT. I share why in this episode, but also, I definitely think online courses are in my future business model because I want to make podcasting as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. But I have learned the hard way that online courses are not a get-rich-quick scheme and it's not easy to make them effective. My guest today is an expert on developing curriculum and online coursework and supporting students, and she's diving in with me all about the...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter What Business Coaching Should Look LikeIf you've been listening to this podcast for awhile, you know I'm skeptical of business coaching, even though it's part of what I do. I've been one of the lucky ones on the receiving end of a massive investment into business coaching that didn't match my expectations or financial obligation, and I generally feel burned by the industry, like so many other online business owners. But coaching is a real field and business coaching is something a lot of people really could massively benefit from, if it is done right. My dear friend Amber Dancy joins me on the...

I also share why learning from other industries has been more valuable than staying siloed in podcast production advice, my complicated relationship with business coaching, and how Podcast Launch Prep Week came from observing a completely different field. What we cover: Why the traditional scaling playbook (courses, memberships, teaching others) didn't align with what I actually wanted to build The real difference between business coaching that serves you versus...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Why I Tell People NOT to Start a Podcast (And How This Prequalifies My Best Clients)You've probably heard the sales advice to share who your offer is NOT for. But it usually gets misused into meaningless phrases like "this isn't for you if you're not ready to invest in yourself." In this episode, I'm sharing the four prequalifying criteria I use to help people assess if they're ready for a podcast (spoiler: it usually takes 3-5 years in business to have these locked in). And why being clear about who's NOT ready actually builds more trust than promising everyone a magic solution. The four...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Behind the Scenes: Why I created Podcast Launch Prep WeekIn this behind-the-business episode, I share how I adapted a framework from a subscription box business coach (shoutout to Sarah Williams from a previous episode), filtered it through Podfox's mission and values, and created something entirely new. I get vulnerable about the challenges of trying a different sales approach, the gap between people saying "someday I'll start a podcast" and actually doing it, and why building community matters more than going it alone. If you've been thinking about starting a podcast (or know someone who has), this episode reveals why most people quit before...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Neurodivergent Entrepreneurship and Serving Neurodivergent ClientsIn this episode, my guests and I challenge traditional business systems that force neurodivergent entrepreneurs into rigid, capitalist molds designed for "worker bees" rather than diverse minds. We explore how to dismantle hierarchical, one-size-fits-all approaches in favor of flexible, accommodation-first practices that prioritize individual capacity and joy over external productivity metrics. Rather than helping neurodivergent people fit into existing systems, we advocate for fundamentally redesigning how we do business to work for different types of brains. Meet the Speakers Sarah K.

But what if the most radical thing you could do for your business is build rest into the foundation?

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Data Bias, Intuition, and Data-Driven Decision MakingAmerican capitalism was built on racial exploitation, from the enslavement of Black people to institutionalized discrimination and its structural impact on our nation's economic and legal systems.

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter How Entrepreneurs are Uniquely Positioned to Serve Intersectional CommunitiesHere's what I've learned from successful entrepreneurs who navigate multiple marginalized identities: They're not succeeding despite their complex realities. They're succeeding because of them. When you can't follow the standard playbook, you're forced to innovate. Your intersectional identity isn't a business challenge to overcome. It's market intelligence that traditional entrepreneurs simply don't have. Meet Today's Speakers: Erin Perkins is deafblind, but you might not notice at first glance. She relies on a hearing aid and cochlear implant for hearing, without which she's profoundly deaf. Her vision is limited to 50 degrees, so if...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Policy Impacting Small Business TodayMy entire career, I've heard entrepreneurs and leaders in business talk about the importance of building business in a policy vacuum. Whether it's because they think it's irrelevant, they don't want to alienate consumers, or they're afraid of getting canceled, the excuses are endless... realistically though, apolitical business is a myth. Especially in times like these. Policy impacts every element of running a small business. But, it can also be intimidating and overwhelming.

"People aren't buying." "Maybe I should just give up." But what if the problem isn't your business?

Building an audience is a long game. It takes time to see significant returns. Meanwhile, rent is due. Big influencer business coaches always give advice about what they would do if they were starting over today, but it's so out of touch to anyone who hasn't been making $100,000+/month! But... eventually... you reach a point where you have no choice but to prioritize audience building in order to...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Reframing Resilience in Life and BusinessIn this week's Big Brave Business episode, Alison Smith completely flips the script on what resilience actually means—and it's not about constantly bouncing back from hardship. Resilience isn't about recovery from challenges. It's about "springing back into the shape of ourselves." Alison shares the etymology of "thrive," which actually means "to grasp to oneself." Most of us have been sold this narrative that thriving means achievement, hustling, and end-goal success. But what if thriving simply means holding onto your sturdy center, especially when the world is trying to knock you off balance? Meet Al...

She offers questions: → Who are you outside of what you produce? → What systems trained you to hustle for validation? → How often are you overriding your body in service of your business?

But meeting Paulaska Ramirez, my guest today, led to my realization that I never considered a non-profit as a business structure when I first became an entrepreneur. I definitely had the mindset that I was "staring a business" with the intention to make money... but I mean, CEOs of non-profits should get salaries, too. The point isn't that the team can't get paid (although that's not currently Paulaska's focus) but that the organization itself is not working...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Capitalism, Anger, and Entrepreneurship as Public ServiceAt the crux of what I've been doing here with Big Brave Business is the question, "How do you become an entrepreneur, and grow and scale a business, with anti-capitalist values?" One of the reasons why my guest today, Joanna Horton McPherson, and I became instant friends is because people with shared values like that are really naturally drawn together. In part 1 with Joanna (she came back to record another episode, which will also come out in a couple of weeks), we are talking about how we build a business that's different than exactly the thing we wanted to...

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Radical Responsibility in Business and LifeYou've heard me mention Be You Brand Live, an event I spoke at a few months ago hosted by my friend Ati Grinspun in Las Vegas. One thing I LOVE about my friendship with Ati is that she really pushes me not just out of my comfort zone, but to really explore and challenge how my core values show up in different contexts. A great example of this is the resistance I felt when she brought up this concept of taking Radical Responsibility in your life and business during her opening remarks at her event.

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter The Intersection of White Supremacy and EntrepreneurshipThis conversation with Taina Brown is a powerful exploration of the insidious ways that white supremacy and capitalism have infiltrated online entrepreneurship. As a white woman, it was eye-opening to hear Taina's firsthand experiences navigating these systems as a non-white entrepreneur. Her insights on the coded language, biased algorithms, and lack of diversity in professional communities really challenged me to be more intentional about the spaces I create and the people I amplify. This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who wants to build a business rooted in equity and justice, rather than perpetuating the harmful status quo.

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter Using Your Personal Filter to Make Decisions in Life & BusinessOne thing I've questioned so much in the past few years is - "Why do we consider 'hard work' a virtue?'" Some of the hardest working people in the world are the least productive, least 'successful,' and least wealthy - and yet the wealthiest folks in the world don't work anywhere near as hard as those living under the poverty line. Where does the myth that hard work leads to success come from and why does it persist?
