Episode 5
Your Mycelial Network
In this episode, we sink down into the soil and imagine your business ecosystem as one that is held together by relationships. These connections often go unnoticed, but they shape the way your work moves through the world, and thus how you can uniquely thrive.
We also explore what it means for your work to follow a seasonal, relational pace. Mushrooms don’t emerge because we will them into being; they appear when the timing and environment allow for it. The same is true for fruiting in your business. You may not always be able to see what’s working underground, but it’s still there, gathering what it needs.
You’ll learn:
Why optimization often leads to isolation, and how interbeing offers a different model for growth.
What ecosystemic reciprocity looks like when it’s not based on equal exchange.
How to identify and tend the relationships—human and non-human—that support your work.
A mycelial network is more than just a cute metaphor, it’s the antithesis to capitalist methods of extraction and transaction, and therefore one of the most important parts of your business ecosystem—and your life.
