Description

Interrupting Business as Usual is the weekly resource for folks who've awakened to oppression, injustice, and the bullshit of the status quo and are looking for ways to live, work, parent, build, and lead in more subversive, disruptive, and liberated ways. We talk life, business, purpose, and liberation — for the newly aware and long-time interrupters alike. If you're ready to rise to your next level, as the most liberated version of yourself, you're in the right place. Let's interrupt business as usual.
