Danielle LaPorte and hungry ghosts Oct 12, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we’ll hear from Danielle LaPorte. She’s a bestselling author, podcaster and entrepreneur who’s also a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. What I love about Danielle is that she’s equal parts poet and business badass.

Danielle has lived the company of one model for business, then outgrown it, then shifted back towards it. In the following audio passage, we’re going to hear her hit on a trend I’ve seen in many other online businesses: where continual growth is wanted, and the best way to achieve it is through paid acquisition channels, like social media ads. And then, once you’re doing that, you’re at the mercy of their access and pricing. Here’s Danielle talking about growing her own business beast and then how she was forced to slay it.

Show notes

I’m Paul Jarvis and this is a preview of Company of One, a new podcast that explores what happens when businesses challenge the traditional idea that bigger is always better. A show where I break from the belief that growth in revenue, customers and employees is the measure of success and focus instead on what it means to create richer and more fulfilling careers and businesses that don’t require exponential growth in all directions at all times.
I share from my book, Company of One, and talk to business leaders, startup founders, entrepreneurs and freelancers who’ve seen financial gains and personal reward by starting and staying small. This show picks up where my book leaves off, lending more stories, ideas and conversations about creating a profitable and long-lasting business without the trappings of rapid growth.
At first, I thought I was alone in championing this counter-intuitive notion of how business could work, but the more I shared why I rejected growth in my own business, the more I heard that others felt the same way. Drawing from a 20-year career working for myself through two recessions, I posit that growth doesn’t have to be a byproduct of success, and in fact, the most beneficial consequence of success can be not growing at all.
Welcome to Company of One. It’s a new podcast hosted by me, Paul Jarvis, coming to your tiny pocket computers soon.
