podcast 004: human flourishing begins with financial power
In this episode, revenue strategist Andrea Mac joins Deb to challenge everything you think you know about sales—and why it might just be the key to human flourishing.
“People only buy two things: outcomes and good feelings. That’s not just sales—it’s humanity.”
Andrea shares how economic empowerment, especially for women, is directly tied to mastering the art of sales. She reframes sales not as manipulation, but as meaningful connection and value exchange. This episode offers a powerful reminder: when we de-stigmatize sales and redefine “being salesy” as an act of service, we create workplaces where people—especially women—can truly thrive.
Key Highlights:
Why you can’t separate work and flourishing—especially for women
The real definition of “salesy” (and why it’s not a dirty word)
How mastering sales is an act of generosity, not persuasion
What happens when women gain financial autonomy
The two things people always buy—and what that reveals about human behavior
