Business is Human

Business is Human

We need a new definition of success—one that harmonizes meaning and money. Imagine diving into your workday with renewed energy, leaving behind the exhaustion or dread of a monotonous grind. Traditional beliefs about success and the root cause of burnout are the same: Prove yourself. Work harder. Take care of the business, and it will take care of you. We’re recycling the mindset and practices that keep us stuck. Our souls need a jumpstart into The Age of Humanity. Tune in for a new way of working that honors our nervous system and the bottom line, using knowledge of the brain, the Bible, and business. We’ll discuss timeless truths that amplify growth, ignite change, and reshape the world of work. No corporate speak or business BS. Let’s get to the heart of a rewarding career and profitable growth. We speak human about business. What’s in it for You? Value, Relevance, and Impact (VRI): No, it's not a new tech gadget—it's your ticket to making your work genuinely matter to you and your company. Human-Centric Insights: We prioritize people over profits without sacrificing the bottom line. Think less "cog in the machine" and more "humans helping humans." I'm your host, Rebecca Fleetwood Hesson, your thrive guide leading you into the new Age of Humanity. I’ve navigated the highs and lows of business and life, from achieving over $40 million in sales, teaching thousands of people around the world about leadership, trust, execution, and productivity to facing burnout, divorce, raising a couple of great humans (one with ADHD), and navigating the uncertainty of starting a business. I’m committed to igniting change in the world by jumpstarting business into profitable growth with the timeless truths of our humanity. Sound crazy? It’s only crazy until it works.
