Does Business Have to Be Icky? Mark Silver on Plant Yourself Podcast 569
Channel: Sick to Fit | Plant Yourself Podcast
Date: 18/10/2023

Mark Silver is the founder of "Heart of Business." For almost 25 years, he's been helping people-who-want-to-make-a-positive-difference-in-the-world-but-still-have-to-earn-a-living to set up, run, and love their small businesses.

He's just written a book: "Heart-Centered Business: Healing from Toxic Business Culture So Your Small Business Can Thrive."

It's a great book. Full of counter-intuitive wisdom (for example, "neediness" is a good thing in the right context) and depth, it challenges both the "win at all costs" narrative of modern capitalism and the "manifest oodles of wealth" faux spiritualism embraced by too many Law of Attraction influencers.

In our conversation, we talk about the myths and misconceptions about business that prevent good small businesses from thriving, and how to go about building a business that serves the world and you simultaneously.
