Question: What do the online business industry and cults have in common?

Answer: Way more than you think. 

For as long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by cults so when I discovered two NXIVM Docuseries — Seduced and The Vow — of course I was going to watch. 

But then something happened that I wasn’t entirely expecting. I saw so many clear parallels between what was being shared on-screen, and what I see every day running a business in the online business industry.

Which is where this new podcast episode and essay comes in. 

In this episode I’m sharing six lessons from both Seduced and The Vow that are directly applicable to online businesses.  What I have to say may surprise you and make you think a little more about these seemingly harmless tactics used by celebrity entrepreneurs.

You can listen to this on the BS-Free Service Business Show or read the full essay here:

Have you ever been told that a challenge in your business could be fixed with some mindset work?

Of course you have. Because in the online business world, mindset gets  blamed for anything and everything— especially when it comes to money.

Truth? I’m sick of it. While money mindset is real, not everything is a mindset issue.

In this episode, I sat down with Bear Hebert, radical life coach, social justice educator, and anti-capitalist business consultant, for a completely fresh take on the intersections of power and privilege as it relates to our money mindset.

We discuss money mindset, generational wealth, how we can run an ethical business, and so much more.
