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.

Cultures within Capitalism

Harry Doull of Keap

February 06, 2024 • Holly Howard • Season 1 • Episode 17

This month on the pod, I welcome Harry Doull of Keap. Keap was born from a philosophical question: In an always-on world, how can we reconnect with ourselves and restore our balance with nature? This is a very rich conversation about running a business today. Harry shares what it was like to grow up in a castle! (bed and breakfast) and the business lessons he learned (one of my favorite conversations about marketing), how he decided to leave his job at YouTube to start Keap, why he's committed to running a business without social media (3 years going!), how he's navigated going from a partnership to a solo operator (shout out to Steve!), how non-violent communication helped him as a manager, why he was drawn to lean manufacturing, and so much more! You may want to bring a Keap candle into your own life :) (One of my greatest monthly joys!) Correction: **In this episode, Harry states that Natural Habitats work in Brazil, which should have been Ecuador.**
