Support COO-fessions

This work is free. And it’s also valuable.

A private podcast, made public.
A series of deep, unfiltered, emotionally intelligent episodes that anyone can access, regardless of what’s in their bank account.

But here’s the truth: free doesn’t mean costless.
It still takes time, energy, labor, and care to create.

So if this work has moved you…
If it’s helped you feel more seen, more steady, more ready to lead in a different way…
If you’re in a position to give back…

You can support it.

This is not charity.
It’s not obligation.
It’s reciprocity.

 FAQs

  • Straight to the human behind the mic—me (aka Brittany Martin). This supports the time, labor, and emotional energy it takes to create work like COO-fessions, and your support helps keep it free and accessible to those who can’t pay for the work. Think like NPR or PBS—community-powered, not ad-driven.

    For this first cohort, I acted as producer, editor, scheduler—all the things. In future seasons, I look forward to collaborating with folks whose actual genius is in those areas. But we start where we start. And we build from now—not from an ideal future.

  • Nope. This isn’t a nonprofit. This is direct support for an independent creator doing regenerative, values-aligned work outside of extractive systems.

  • Then don’t. Seriously. The podcast is still yours. This is about reciprocity, not obligation.

  • Yes, please. This work spreads by word of mouth, not ads. If someone you know values aligned leadership and real talk about business, send them this way.
