Cultures within Capitalism

This is a podcast looking at all things company culture. Through this series, we’ll speak to entrepreneurs who are part of the Ask Holly How community to understand the different cultures that exist under the broad umbrella of capitalism. We’ll look into how our personal stories impact the cultures we create. Our music is composed and performed by me on the bassoon and Johnny Simon on guitar. It’s inspired by the 5-note pentatonic scale of Scottish folk music in the 18th century - the same time Adam Smith was formulating Capitalism. Our sound engineer is Johnny Simon, and our logo design is by Rodrigo Miguel with illustrations by Rodrigo & Kathleen Scudder. The [w/n] abbreviation is a nod to scientific chart-writing.

Mandell Conway of Giving Is Like

October 11, 2023 • Holly Howard • Season 1 • Episode 14

This month on the pod, I welcome Mandell Conway, founder of Giving Is Like and Coach at Seth Godin's altMBA. This episode holds a special place in my heart as Mandell is also a founding member of Book Club! Mandell shares his journey from learning childhood lessons from his mother about giving, how that informed his approach to generosity, his very winding path to joining the coaching team at the altMBA, and launching his daily newsletter.

Though we didn't set out with this intention, in this episode, we arrive at our shared joy of commitment and talk about what it is, what it takes, and why it matters. There's also a lot of basketball talk along the way :). Please enjoy Mandell's generous spirit, sign up for his newsletter, or consider the altMBA, where you can work with him.
