Professional Troublemaker, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, on How to Do What Scares You Most

At the intersection of comedy, media, and professional shade-throwing, you'll find Luvvie Ajayi Jones, a New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and sought-after speaker. Luvvie is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk (over 5 million views!) that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. In her new book, Professional Troublemaker, the Fear-Fighter Manual, Luvvie shares how you can audaciously step into your life, career, and legacy to go beyond even your wildest dreams. In this episode, she teaches how to live boldly despite all the reasons you have to cower, why you shouldn't be afraid to name and claim yourself, and the steps you can take to move forward right now.
