EP#29 "Doing Business On Purpose" w/Hillary Samson

In this podcast episode of "Conscious Conversations," hosts Nick Paladino King and Nitin Garg welcome Hillary Samson as their guest. Hillary is the owner of Transforming Ventures, a consulting firm that incorporates sacred teachings and ancient wisdom into the workplace. She also focuses on reinventing capitalism and bringing more sacredness, compassion, and purpose into work and personal lives.

Hillary shares her personal journey of transformation, which began after experiencing several challenging work-related relationships. Through deep prayer and connection with her divine masculine and divine feminine, she realized that her spiritual path extended into her work life. This realization led her to establish Transforming Ventures.

She describes her practice of listening to her inner guidance or intuition, starting with low-risk decisions and gradually progressing to more significant choices. Hillary differentiates between the voice of fear and the voice of love, emphasizing the importance of discernment. She also shares her belief that businesses have their own purpose and needs beyond their owners, and she connects with the soul of a business to guide her consulting work.

The hosts discuss the changing landscape of business, where consumers increasingly demand that companies address social and environmental issues. Hillary believes that the energy of the universe has shifted, and businesses must adapt to this change or risk being left behind. She also highlights the influence of generational shifts, particularly the growing desire for connection, kindness, and compassion.

The episode concludes with a discussion on how corporations are being driven to change by their employees and customers, who are increasingly seeking businesses aligned with their values. Hillary's work aims to support entrepreneurs and business leaders who are open to alternative ways of doing business that align with their authentic selves.

About Hillary:

After starting her career working as the Senior Product Manager at AbeBooks (now a division of Amazon), she spent most of the last 15 years as a conventional operations and business planning consultant, (through Samson Consulting) primarily supporting women-led and Indigenous-led social ventures.

About four years ago Hillary had a personal life-altering shift in my spiritual journey, and was keenly aware that she was being asked to take this journey into her work life as well.

She started Transforming Ventures to explore how sacred teachings and ancient wisdom could support our work and workplaces; this project includes a website, blog, and limited podcast, Sacred at Work.

Hillary has recently been called to explore academic inquiry around this topic, and in January is beginning a Doctor of Business Administration at Royal Roads University with a focus on "reimagining capitalism."
