Meet your host

For 20 years as a journalist and television director, I actively avoided the front of the camera and microphone. I hid behind the scenes asking question and telling stories in someone else’s voice.

Four years ago all of that changed. The opportunity of a lifetime presented itself. I couldn’t let fear, insecurity, or that unhelpful inner-critic keep me from transitioning my expertise into a seat in the spotlight.

What I learned about what it takes to succeed and about myself in the process changed me in ways I want for you too.
