RBE Success Series: Stephanie Keiko Kong & Building a Regenerative Business for Collective Liberation

One of my favorite parts of building Regenerative Business Ecosystem has very little to do with teaching.

It's getting a front-row seat to some of the most thoughtful, creative, values-driven entrepreneurs I've ever met.

So I decided it was time for you to meet them, too.

In this conversation, I sit down with Stephanie Keiko Kong — founder of ponyponytail, public speaking coach for collective liberation, community organizer, and one of the most insightful humans inside RBE.

What started as a member interview quickly became a much bigger conversation about what it actually takes to build a business that can sustain both your work and your values.

Together we explore:

•  Why entrepreneurs freeze when they look at the backend of their business 
•  The surprising role your nervous system plays in marketing and implementation 
•  Why community is about so much more than networking 
•  The hidden cost of trying to build a business alone 
•  Stephanie's favorite (and most unexpected) part of Regenerative Business Ecosystem 
•  The advice they'd give anyone who's afraid to invest in themselves 

Whether you're building a business, leading a movement, or simply trying to create something meaningful in the world, I think you'll leave this conversation with ideas that stay with you long after the episode ends.

If you'd like to learn more about Regenerative Business Ecosystem, enrollment is open for a limited time through July 29.
