EP479: Scaling a Feminist Business with Chéla Breckon

My guest today is a powerhouse in feminist leadership and entrepreneurship. She’s one of those women that, as she rises, she brings everyone up with her.

Chéla Breckon is the founder and CEO of With Chéla Inc, where she is all about empowering women in small towns to see the bigger possibilities in their settings. She also works with rural communities to see the potential in their own people. She is a master at weaving feminist principles into the fabric of her business, and as a self-confessed small town girl, I can’t support her work enough.

Listen in today to hear my conversation with Chéla all about scaling a feminist business, what makes a business feminist, and how to lead your business in a whole hearted and authentic way.
