Rob is joined in this episode by the original WAG, Lizzie Cundy! They talk all about media, networking and the highs and lows of being in the public eye. Lizzie also delves deep into her thoughts on the ‘Wagatha Christie’ debacle, the Depp –vs- Heard case and why she thinks the Harry and Megan interview was disrespectful and wrong.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Being a WAG was aspirational and attainable, this is why WAG’s sold papers. They became stars in their own right and people wanted to know all about their lives.

Lizzie believes the change she has seen in the past 30 years in media has been largely a positive thing by allowing more opportunities for more people.

However, Lizzie is very against the current ‘woke’ culture and what she calls the fun police. Lizzie believes in freedom of speech and doesn’t think this should be restricted just because some people may take offence.

You still need an agent in the world of media. To protect yourself and to stop yourself being used.

Lizzie found offering people help and becoming a known face is what helped her build her network, mostly because it aided her in building trust with people.

If you aren’t naturally outgoing, you can still be very connected but you must take your chances and push yourself out of your comfort zone. 

Always ask the question you shouldn’t ask. This is what people want to know and get out of listening to interviews.

The press aren’t ‘scum’ in Lizzie’s eyes. The majority are just trying to earn a living, it’s simply a job for them. Celebrities need the press as much as the press need celebrities.

There’s always a way to make what you want to happen, happen. This is one of Lizzies’s mantra’s and why she is so well connected in the world.

Lizzie’s mechanism for dealing with criticism and hate is her sense of humour. She knows she is a good person and has good self-esteem so this alongside enjoying life helps her stay strong against any adversity.

For aspiring female entrepreneurs, Lizzie’s advice is to believe in yourself and to show no fear, you are as good if not better than everyone else.
