Business as Activism with Elijah Selby

By: Elijah Selby
  • Summary

  • Everyday we are inundated with thousands of messages promoting a way of doing business that is entrenched in toxicity. Are you as tired as I am of seeing the endless propping up of hustle culture and burnout as the only path to success? The marketing paradigms that are void of diversity, antiracism, and inclusion? The reliance on using harmful psychological triggers just to make a sale?! They want us to believe this is the only way it can be done; but I am here to tell you: that is 100% b@llsh*t! We don't need to buy into this deeply harmful and exhausting mythos of doing business. I have made it my goal in life to not only change the way I do business but to help others do the same: through community, sharing, and learning through powerful conversations. Welcome to the Business as Activism Podcast. We are going to unpack and uncover how doing business in our current paradigm is causing tremendous harm and perpetuating an unjust system. We are also going to discuss new and better ways to do business --ways that actually can result in bringing about healing and contribute to changing the world. I'm your host, Elijah Selby, Feminist Business Coach and I passionately believe that by dismantling the systems of oppression that are built into current business practices we can 100% help to make the world a more just place. So many of us are unconscious of the harmful beliefs and practices we are perpetuating. Including me. Through these conversations a whole other world and way of doing things is going to open up for you. My desire is that these conversations inspire you to do business differently so that together we can build a better workplace and a better world.

  • Bro Marketers are Pick Up Artists with Sam Pollack
    May 21 2024

    Samantha Pollack is a Positioning Strategist & Copywriter for service providers, creatives, BIPOC women, AuDHD folks, activists, queers, weirdos, and other smart/cool people. She's known for her ability to capture her clients' voice—and craft messaging that makes THEIR clients feel seen, safe, and excited AF to get to work.

    Sam believes the most important asset in your business is your audience’s trust, and she's working to build a new marketing paradigm rooted in honesty, kindness, and slowing the fuck down—while making (and paying) sustainable wages.

    Y'all!!! I think we can all get behind Sam! I read her bio and immediately emailed her to get on the show and I'm 100% glad I did. We talk about:

    •Shifting marketing paradigm from bro to sustainable, ethical practices.

    •Online marketing ethics and transparency.

    •Naming names in online business, fear of lawsuits and self-preservation.

    •Shifting from old marketing paradigm to new empathy-based approach. And so much more!

  • Breaking the Myth of the Starving Artist with Jillian Todd
    May 14 2024

    "I love talking about rich artists!" That's what Jillian Todd wrote on the her google form to be on the podcast and I instantly knew I had to talk to this woman!!! The cultural narratives we hear greatly affect us--and most often they are holding us down and holding us back. In this episode we talk about:

    •Breaking the stigma of artists being "starving" and finding financial stability through creative careers.

    •Generosity, self-love, and harm reduction in activism.

    •The binary of "starving artist" vs. "luxury VIP" and finding a balance. •Investing in art, finding local artists, and making money through various means.

    •Defining success for creative entrepreneurs, with a focus on financial stability and making a living while honoring values.

    And so much more!! I am so excited for you to hear this conversation. Please subscribe, review, and share--I need a village to get the word out there! Thank you.

  • Performing as a Challenge to Patriarchal Norms with Melissa Kelley
    Apr 30 2024

    We dive into

    •Gender identity, trauma, societal expectations and healing through performance art

    •Confronting societal expectations and living authentically •Impact, power, and fear in entrepreneurship and activism
