Episode 158: Things I Proudly Do In My Business That Feel "Against the Grain"
Episode Summary
In this episode, I’m sharing the things I do in my business that I’ve learned are not super normalized in the online space, and why I do them anyway.
I’m not saying my way is the best way. I’m saying these are the decisions I’ve made after years of trial, error, and paying attention to what feels off in my body. I cover things like not chasing leads, not selling on discovery calls, offering payment plans without added fees, not taking competing SEO clients in the same location, refunding when something is misaligned, and teaching in a way that actually gives people something they can use.
This episode is basically a values audit in podcast form, and a reminder that you’re allowed to run your business differently if the standard approach feels gross.
