The most important career advice I can offer you right now.

Express interest in serve hereDearest you.There's a low-grade hum of anxiety moving through a lot of us right now and it doesn't matter whether you work for yourself or someone else. We know something has fundamentally shifted in how work works. We just haven't had the language for it yet.In this episode I name what's actually happening — the emerging agentic workforce — and more importantly, what this moment in time is asking of us.I introduce three ideas that invite you to evolve how you see your professional self:Evolving from a producer of value to a composer of valueEvolving from a holder of a title to a keeper of a unique and deeply human unit of value  Thinking and acting like an entrepreneur This episode is a reorientation of the way we think about our contribution in a professional setting. It's also a gentle but urgent act of self-direction that can begin today.What I unpack in this episode:Why the traditional career path is becoming less stable and what's replacing itThe fundamental shift from producer to composer of valueWhy an entrepreneurial mindset is no longer just for foundersWhat AI will never be able to do and why that's where our professional futures liveWhy starting or sustaining a human-centred service business may be one of the safest professional moves you can make right nowQuestions to start exploring your own answers toI am opening the doors to serve — a practice room for regenerative entrepreneurship and purpose-driven service — in early May.

Make a copy of my Season Curriculum Notion template hereSubscribe to my Substack hereDearest you.There is a loud conversation happening online right now about personal taste. Who has it. Who doesn't. How to get it and how we lose it. And somewhere in that conversation, taste cultivation got framed as something friction-full and — for a lot of women — another thing on a list that's already too long.In this episode I pull us out of that debate and move us into the how to develop personal taste.Because here's the reframe: You're not without taste. You never were. What's more likely is that the algorithm has been programming your taste, deciding what you wear, what you think and what you buy. And your taste — your real taste — is sitting waiting underneath.To help you make contact with it, I'm inviting you to pick up the really nourishing practice of designing your own seasonal curriculum — a romantic and creative personal program that acts as an alternative to the scroll.Alison xogo deeper.Watch on YouTubeSubscribe to SubstackBook a 1-1 SessionAlison's Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.You know what you value. Or at least, you think you do. Maybe you'd say something like family. Creativity. Freedom. But your actual life — the phone you can’t put down and the yes you keep giving when you really mean no — is telling a different story. So what's going wrong?In this episode, I dig into the gap between our stated values and lived experience and why standard values exercises aren't working anymore. I offer a life-led values excavation approach to try instead, one that starts with inspecting the data your actual life is already giving you. I also talk about what it means to know your unique transmission as a creator and communicator, why I hope you’ll consider watching the podcast on YouTube, how I’m collaborating with AI as an inquiry partner and why this season of Get Offline is about one message, one community and shipping more long-form content for us to connect around. Alison xo go deeper.Watch on YouTubeSubscribe to SubstackBook a 1-1 SessionAlison's Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.Kriti Gupta calls herself an Internet Anthropologist — a translator of the signals young people are sending about who they are, what they value and what it’s like to be them.In this honest conversation, we explore how Gen Z and Alpha are reclaiming their time, presence and self expression in an era defined by algorithms and increasingly, artificial intelligence.Kriti helps us understand the subcultures and online worlds shaping identity, power and belonging for the next generation and what that means for brands, creators and leaders who want to connect meaningfully.Kriti also opens up about her lived experience as a brown woman and creative trying to belong in rooms that value her ideas but not the face presenting them. Her reflections on reclamation, identity and creating her own tables are deeply moving. Alison xogo deeper.Watch on YouTubeSubscribe to SubstackBook a 1-1 SessionAlison's Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Dearest you.This conversation with my friend, peer and fellow world-builder, Alex Taylor, has been 10 years in the making. We first met in our Who What Wear days — two young leaders shaping the same brand world from opposite sides of the world.A decade later, Alex is the co-founder of Perelel Health, one of the most politically influential women’s health companies in the US with advocacy reaching all the way to the White House. This episode explores the parts of the founder journey that aren’t spoken about enough. The quiet questioning, the real costs, the faith required before investors and customers believe in what you're building.Together we explore:How a brand earns the right to advocateBuilding community from scratchThe tension between vision and viabilityHolding the mission before the market believes in youNavigating 100+ investor “no’s” while staying devoted to the workFeminine power, relational power and community power in leadershipHow our seasons as women shape the way we leadWhy founders need boundaries, privacy and an inner life of their ownThe evolution of digital intimacy and brand world-building todayThis is a conversation for founders, creators and builders who are quietly carrying the weight of their vision and looking for a reminder that they’re not alone. It’s also an invitation to rethink what modern leadership can be when it’s grounded in truth and generosity.Alison xogo deeper.Watch on YouTubeSubscribe to SubstackBook a 1-1 SessionAlison's Instagram Hosted on Acast.
