Episode Details

"These were very colonized institutions that I feel brainwashed me. And they brainwash a lot of people. So now as a business owner, creative & Notion consultant, what I get to do is decolonize my business and help my clients look at their own businesses through a decolonization lens."

Today I’m joined by Podge Thomas for a reflective conversation about why being self-employed invites (and requires) decolonizing how we learn, how we communicate, how we operate, and how we relate to others.
 

Podge is a queer, POC, neurodivergent Notion consultant. Her clients are progressive and radical self-identifying women and non-binary business leaders. When she’s not Notion-izing, she is renovating her 1780’s home in New England with her partner.

 
Together we explore:

• The coercive effects of traditional education ⛓️‍💥
• Why Amelia did School like Ken did Beach 🏖️
• How to de-condition & decolonize our businesses 🧲
• The importance of situating self-knowledge amidst community values 🎗️
• Why Notion is a liberatory tool 👾
• Task management for non-linear thinkers 😵‍💫
• & so much more!
