Deeply Rested: Anti-Capitalist Conversations for Entrepreneurs

In this final episode of our patience series, I'm exploring how slowing down, quieting the noise, and choosing presence can actually transform your business.This episode moves beyond the practicalities of business ownership into the realm of spirituality. We dive into a Rumi quote that shifted my entire understanding of how to work with intention: "If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me." I explore how this idea intersects with sustainable business ownership and what it means to treat spiritual practice as your most important business practice.Through this episode, I'm inviting you to consider: What if your spiritual practices are inseparable from your business practices? What if patience is where you find clarity, calm, and genuine connection to your work?Join me outside for this deeper conversation about slowing down as a form of power.Don't forget to subscribe to Let's Go Outside for weekly invitations to listen and learn from the natural world.🌿 Let's Go Outside is a video series for entrepreneurs who want to build their businesses at the speed of nature, not the speed of late-stage capitalism.📩 Want to go deeper?

As small business owners, most of us have been conditioned to believe that constant motion equals success — and that slowing down means falling behind. But what if that story is the very thing holding you back?In this episode of Let's Go Outside, I'm filming from a plot of farmland in rural Virginia, reflecting on why farmers do what farmers do: plant seeds, then walk away. No one calls a farmer lazy for trusting the natural growth cycle. No one tells them they're not working hard enough because they're letting the soil do its job.So why do we say that to ourselves?This week, I'm exploring the difference between patience and passivity, why we confuse the two, and what it actually looks like to build a business in alignment with natural cycles instead of against them.We might reach our goals more slowly. But we will reach them more peacefully — and that inner peace is worth its weight in gold.🌿 Let's Go Outside is a video series for entrepreneurs who want to build their businesses at the speed of nature, not the speed of late-stage capitalism.📩 Want to go deeper?
