Ten days until ShoutOut Live! Radical Women sponsored by Spotify. I've been working on this festival for a long time. It’s been my absolute dream to champion new voices and more importantly women’s voices in podcasting. Learn new ways to create your show, become a better and more confident storyteller and pick the brains of the leading women in audio right now by visiting solivefestival.com.

This week I’m joined by award-winning, speaker and brand strategist Luvvie Ajayi. Luvvie is a New York Times Bestselling Author of the fantastically funny book “I’m Judging You The Do Better Manual”. Luvvie likes to call herself a professional troublemaker she has an eye firmly on the pulse of pop culture and media. Luvvie has appeared on a couple of TEDx stages before landing on the Ted stage with her no viral talk “Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable”. Luvvie now hosts her very own podcast called Rants and Randomness which has guests that include Myleik Teele, Bozoma St John, Jenifer Lewis, Jussie Smollett and Franchesca Ramsey.

In today’s episode Luvvie you’ll learn how Luvvie got comfortable asking for help. You’ll learn why Luvvie speaks her dreams into existence and how she decides what to share. We also cover fear and rejection and getting comfortable with the word no.
