Episode 99: Being Anti-capitalist with Bear Hebert

February 16, 2022

I’m thrilled to be talking with Bear Hebert today. They are an anti-capitalist business coach and radical consultant and social justice educator. Bear also has a side hustle teaching men how to unlearn patriarchal bad behaviour. I just love Bear’s work, I am so glad they are here. Last year I purchased Freely – Bear’s anti-capitalist guide to pricing and it was SO helpful and educational – I learned A LOT! I really hope you enjoy this episode.

So what’s this episode really about?

Bear talks about how we can make a decent living as a self employed person and still do right in the world.
They also talk about their own relationship with money.
Capitalism based on paradox you cannot win–keep growing and you can never have enough – we talk through all the alternatives: sustainability and reciprocity and where abundance appears in all this.
Bear offers real, practical advice on your relationship with money when following anti-capitalist values.

Why you should listen

Most of us who are self-employed will at some point face our relationship with money. Sometimes that’s a bit like wrestling an octopus because you start to see that there are tentacles everywhere–in our family ancestral story, our self-worth, relationship to the planet, what we value, systems of oppression. Bear gives real, honest and practical advice on how your business can better serve your clients with an anti-capitalist lens.
