**We Are Growing The Institutions of The Future** ⁠
⁠
I believe in the culture makers.⁠
⁠
It might not feel like it, but right now -- at our home offices, tiny studios, kitchen tables, massage tables, hot desks, in our garages -- we are growing the institutions of the future.⁠
⁠
Many of our most politically significant national organizations started off in someone's living room as a mutual aid society.⁠
⁠
Many a movement kicked off as a meeting around a kitchen table.⁠
⁠
A whole lot of businesses get started at kitchen tables, too -- or in garages.⁠
⁠
And then they grow into culture-shaping, culture-making institutions.⁠
⁠
So....what you're doing right now really matters. ⁠
⁠
The challenge for culture-making entrepreneurs is that a lot of the tools for growing businesses + audiences are NOT tools we want to carry into the future.⁠
⁠
Take status quo marketing, for example. ⁠
⁠
Being visible and marketing are game-changing business skills-- ones we need to get our messages out into the world, make sales, and grow.⁠
⁠
AND...mainstream marketing systems use shaming and subconscious triggers to get people to buy. ⁠
⁠
They leverage pain & scarcity so people will buy to 'solve' the problem.⁠
⁠
Using high-risk "persuasion" tactics and mental/social triggers is something mainstream marketers brag about (!!!!) and teach.⁠
⁠
This is the NORM.⁠
⁠
These are all dominance tactics. And dominance is not a practice I plan to carry into the future.⁠
⁠
We do NOT have to pour oppressive practices into the foundations of our future institutions.⁠
⁠
That's why I know that developing new-world business practices, through a systemic lens,  is necessary. ⁠
⁠
Learning how to message + grow audiences and sales IS important for our businesses right now AND for the institutions we're growing.⁠
⁠
That's why I teach business through a systemic, feminist lens -- so we have the tools we need to rise & thrive, right now... ...AND in the better future we're growing, together.⁠
⁠
Let's make money AND justice.⁠

⁠
Maybe long-term exploitation is why we feel anxious about money.⁠
⁠
No maybe about it.⁠
