About this listen

Self-Elected is a story of abundance. Part memoir, part business guide, and part manifesto, it invites the listener to explore the convergence of social justice and profit.

Lisa Wise tells a deeply personal story about being a child left behind, and how that beginning, coupled with an intuitive knack for entrepreneurship, evolved into an intense desire to build security for herself and others. This work is both personal and practical in nature, providing budding entrepreneurs and those who want to revisit their business models with concrete recommendations for centering their companies in justice without ceding profits. It includes an array of research and case studies to build a compelling argument that prioritizing people and place is the truest path not only to financial success, but to a more equitable society.

Self-Elected is the story of how one woman who grew up with housing insecurity went on to build a thriving family of property management companies, all while flipping the traditional scarcity-based business model on its head.

Must listen for business owners and budding entrepreneurs

I began this book simply from an interest in justice and leadership, and finished it planning to start my own company and implement lisa’s teachings. She shares the journey of creating a business that prioritizes people and becomes delightfully profitable along the way in an interesting, accessible, and replicable fashion, interspersed with facts and stories. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in business, including business coaches.

Required reading for using business as an agent of change

I’ll admit that I have a bias in non-fiction audiobooks for those read by the author. It’s not that professional narrators cannot do a superb job, but there’s just something about hearing an author’s words in their own voice, their own tone, their own cadence. High marks there.

This book intertwines business anecdotes and social commentary with a deeply personal narrative, where lisa’s stories are both input to and output from her admittedly progressive worldview. Her personal values are unapologetically part of her version of capitalism, but the advocacy for the private sector to care (more) deeply for those who give it life can be universally applied.

This book serves as an entertaining counterpoint to the myriad business books that inhabit only the realm of the academic. I look forward to what lisa’s next chapter may have in store.
