New York Times Best-selling author, award-winning blogger, and “professional troublemaker,” Luvvie Ajayi Jones is here and she’s ready to help you take action on your big dreams, move through the fear that’s holding you back, and use your voice to support your audience.
I loved my interview with Luvvie, and I know you will too. We chat about…
- How her skydiving experience helped her become comfortable with being uncomfortable
- Why content creation and getting noticed online looks different than you think
- The reason getting a “D” in college was the sign she needed to say goodbye to her dream of becoming a doctor and start a blog instead
There are so many “a-ha”, “WOW”, and jaw-dropping moments in this episode, I wish I could name them all… you’ll just have to join us over on the podcast to find out what they are.
Sometimes a conversation just takes on a life of its own and reveals a lot of wisdom. I know when Luvvie says, “When you serve people, you will be seen by the people you need to serve,” you’ll want to stop multi-tasking and make sure you’re listening to the conversation that follows.
You’re in for a real treat, friend! Listen in to get inspired, excited, and driven to take action with Luvvie’s step-by-step guidance.
Here’s a preview of the episode:
- [04:34] Luvvie moved to the US from Nigeria when she was nine. She started a blog in college about undergrad life and then started another blog called Awesomely Luvvie. Writing is a hobby she loves, and she’s so good at it, she even won an award for it.
- [09:39] Luvvie covered the Academy Awards. She interviewed celebrities like Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig. She wrote TV reviews and recaps, and then Shonda Rhimes found her.
- [16:54] Be more concerned about the people you serve than you are about being seen. This will actually get you noticed more.
- [19:05] Content creation is a practice and an exercise. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it needs to be real. Will it connect?
- [24:45] Fear of rejection and disappointment can't hold us back. Even fear of success can be an issue.
- [26:57] Women can be a powerful force to inspire other women to do better by putting things forward even when we are afraid.
- [30:00] Action step: Declare at least one thing from this episode that you are going to implement within a week. If you're doing it, you’re the expert.
