Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter

In this episode, my guests and I challenge traditional business systems that force neurodivergent entrepreneurs into rigid, capitalist molds designed for "worker bees" rather than diverse minds. We explore how to dismantle hierarchical, one-size-fits-all approaches in favor of flexible, accommodation-first practices that prioritize individual capacity and joy over external productivity metrics. Rather than helping neurodivergent people fit into existing systems, we advocate for fundamentally redesigning how we do business to work for different types of brains. Meet the Speakers Sarah K.

American capitalism was built on racial exploitation, from the enslavement of Black people to institutionalized discrimination and its structural impact on our nation's economic and legal systems. This foundation didn't disappear when we moved to digital spreadsheets and analytics dashboards. It evolved.

Here's what I've learned from successful entrepreneurs who navigate multiple marginalized identities: They're not succeeding despite their complex realities. They're succeeding because of them. When you can't follow the standard playbook, you're forced to innovate. Your intersectional identity isn't a business challenge to overcome. It's market intelligence that traditional entrepreneurs simply don't have. Meet Today's Speakers: Erin Perkins is deafblind, but you might not notice at first glance. She relies on a hearing aid and cochlear implant for hearing, without which she's profoundly deaf. Her vision is limited to 50 degrees, so if she doesn't wave back when you do, it's likely she didn't see or hear you. Working with independent business owners, coaches, and mentors opened her eyes to the widespread lack of accessibility awareness. This led her to focus on accessibility education. Erin is passionate about teaching businesses to be more accessible, using her personal experiences to promote true inclusion at every level. Her mission is to make the world more accessible, one business at a time. ⁠https://www.mabelyq.com/⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/erineperkins⁠ Ali Cameron is a disability advocate and brand builder based in Vancouver, BC.
