Welcome back to the Fierce Factor Podcast, you're in for a treat as we dive into episode 209. I'm bringing you something special—a raw and unfiltered interview that captures the essence of our mission at KLC.
Picture this: After a long day of filming the cameras are being packed away, the hustle of the day is winding down, and I find myself on a couch with my team, casually discussing ALT, our upcoming live event in Newport Beach, CA. Little did we know, my mic was still on, capturing a candid conversation about why ALT came to be.
The 17 minute conversation that ensued was unscripted, unfiltered, and entirely unprepared for. I peel back the layers of my journey through corporate America, sharing frustrations about the status quo and the need for authentic voices in our industry. We talk about why so many dynamic women aren't seen on the biggest stages and the importance of amplifying their stories.
I'll admit, my views can be controversial, even costly at times, but I believe in staying true to my convictions, no matter the challenges.
My hope is that by sharing this conversation, you'll gain a glimpse into the discussions happening behind the scenes and find inspiration to embrace your own truth.
