She's thrown parties for the Pope, Beyonce, and world leaders from dozens of countries, so who better to ask for good party tips than the former White House social secretary?!

This week I'm joined on the pod by Deesha Dyer, who worked with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama on throwing ragers for some of the most important people on earth.

Not only do we talk about amazing party planning, but we also talk about how she went from a 31-year-old community college student to a staffer at the White House; the lessons she's learned about perseverance and staying true to yourself; the crazy party stories from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; and of course her tips to throw a party that even a President would love.

Check out Deesha's new book, Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Trouble, on Amazon here and on Bookshop here.
