Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast delves into topics such as consumerism, anti-Blackness, shame, and self-sovereignty, with episodes featuring discussions on the impacts of fast fashion, strategies for divesting from anti-Blackness, radical self-sovereignty, and actionable goal-setting methods.
Interrupting Business as Usual is the weekly resource for folks who’ve awakened to oppression, injustice, and the bullshit of the status quo and are looking for ways to live, work, parent, build, and lead in more subversive, disruptive, and liberated ways.
We talk life, business, purpose, and liberation — for the newly aware and long-time interrupters alike.
If you’re ready to rise to your next level, as the most liberated version of yourself, you’re in the right place.
Let’s interrupt business as usual.
If you’ve ever felt guilty charging for your work, exhausted by labor that never shows up in your paycheck, or trying and failing at brokering peace in a stealth war between your values and your money, this episode is not a mindset fix. It’s a history lesson, and it’s going to change everything.
The economy you’ve been trying to succeed inside of was built on a theft and the discomfort you feel about pricing, compensation, and care-based work isn’t a sign that you’re “bad at business” or are doomed to a life of poverty because you don’t have an abundance mindset.
It’s just evidence that you remember something the system needs you to forget.
By asking who decided what counts as work and what doesn’t, Nikki reframes community, not as the opposite of business, but as the original business model and breaks down what it actually looks like to reunite care and commerce in your one life.
In this episode you’ll learn:
The accounting trick that built capitalism’s entire margin and who’s been subsidizing it
Why your relational labor keeps leaving your business for free, and what that’s actually costing you
What the informal economies of Black and Indigenous communities reveal about what “the economy” was always supposed to be
What changes when you understand community as the original business model
