Ep. 23 | Running an Anti Capitalist Doula Business with Khye Tyson

We are joined by Khye Tyson (they/them) to discuss the foundation of building an anti-capitalist doula business.

We answer the following questions & more:

*Why is having a critique of capitalism, let alone a strategy for anti-capitalism, something that we should be considering when we are shaping our business plans?

*What did the process of evaluating their relationship with giving & receiving look like and how did they use this information to inform their business structure?

*What are some examples of reciprocity outside of monetary exchange?

*What can it look like to weave your values into your business plan? How do you know if you've veered off track?
