Liberatory Business with Simone Seol
Let's build community care, social responsibility, and allyship into every aspect of your business — not as an afterthought, but as a core foundation. Because business isn’t neutral. The way we sell, market, and structure our offers either upholds oppressive systems or actively works to dismantle them.
We’re here to have honest, nuanced, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about what it really means to run a business that is both profitable and radically principled.
Liberatory Business with Simone Seol
16. The myth of location independence, inter-being and reciprocal responsibility
The promise of location independence has become the holy grail of entrepreneurial success. But what if our obsession with unlimited mobility is actually disconnecting us from something essential? This episode explores the spiritual and ethical implications of the "work from anywhere" dream.
Listen to hear more about:
- Why the fantasy of complete geographic freedom might be rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of human interconnectedness
- The hidden army of rooted workers whose place-based labor makes your mobility possible — and what happens when we ignore this reality
- How the idealization of the "location independent" lifestyle is based on a hierarchy created by the privilege of some that excludes others
- Indigenous wisdom about reciprocal responsibility and "honorable harvest" that can transform how we approach any new place
- The paradox of freedom that comes from commitment vs. the absence of it
We all need both wings and roots.You'll discover a framework for conscious mobility that honors both your desire for autonomy and your responsibility to the communities that sustain you — whether you stay put in one place, or travel the world.
