I'm joined by Lynn Harris today, a culture-shifting producer, award-winning journalist, and author/co-author of six books. Her comedy and campaigns for social justice and gender equity have changed laws and conversations from Capitol Hill to NASCAR. She is the founder and CEO of GOLD Comedy—the comedy school, professional network, and content studio where women and non-binary creators grow their comedy careers, build powerful communities, and make funny stuff. She co-created Breakup Girl, co-hosted a podcast, served as the first VP of communications at global human rights group Breakthrough, and worked as a Tonya Harding lookalike, which is a long story.

Our conversation is packed with energy and should leave you inspired and ready to laugh this year! We talk about the importance of experiencing comedy from an early age, following her nose towards what she loves, and the work of normalizing women and othered others' presence in the comedy world. We also discuss putting the work out before you're ready (hello fellow perfectionists!), accelerating change, and her mother's priceless advice: "don't ever tell yourself I shouldn't be feeling this way, or if you tell yourself, don't believe it. 

Thank you for being here,
xx
Jo
