Jaslyn Hall radiates energy and wisdom from the moment she begins speaking with host Carlie Robinson in this vibrant episode of Talk Digi to Me's March FWD series. With a lifetime of global adventures, Hall has crafted an extraordinary career spanning education, event planning, radio, television, and cultural production across multiple continents.

The conversation flows like a masterclass in fearless living as Hall shares her journey from a child who lined up dolls to teach them, to becoming a sought-after creative strategist who has led multicultural projects for world expos and government events. Her early inspiration came from civil rights activist and author Alice Walker, whose disruptive spirit and connection to ancestry resonated deeply with Hall.

Music emerges as the thread connecting Hall's diverse experiences. As she eloquently puts it, "Music really does unite us." This philosophy guided her work hosting Australia's national World Music Show on Triple J, producing Caribbean-focused radio programs, and even selecting the musical accompaniment for 45 different countries during the Asian Games in Qatar. The highlight of her musical career came during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where she served as artistic consultant and created "Hemispheres" – a three-day festival of global music that brought together her favorite artists from around the world.

Hall's travels have taken her from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to experiencing the Festival in the Desert in Mali. These experiences illuminate her core belief that we must make efforts to know and understand each other across cultural boundaries.

The conversation shifts to Hall's forthcoming book, "Living in the Gap," which explores the transformative space between where we are and where we want to be. After waking up one morning and spontaneously declaring "I'm letting go," Hall discovered that creating space in her life allowed everything to flow more naturally. This philosophy has become her guide to living with calm purpose even in high-pressure situations.

When asked about challenges women face in their careers, Hall doesn't hesitate: "We're not bold enough. If you're good at something, then say so." Her advice for women resonates with hard-earned wisdom – stand up, speak out, and claim your accomplishments. With her playful life motto "happy, happy, dead," Hall reminds us all that bold living filled with purpose is the only path worth taking.
