I've watched Lila Rose, the president and founder of the impactful pro-life organization Live Action, from afar for man years. She was just arriving on the scene back when I first made my way in Washington, DC. Lila started the organization when she was only 15 years old. At 30, she's grown it into a very visible and powerful entity that is helping to change hearts and minds around the issue of abortion. Her commitment to the issue from such a young age and the reasons behind why she's dedicated her life to this cause are admirable. Lila says: "The ultimate antidote to abortion is people who are living lives of love." Abortion is a hard issue to tackle on a daily basis. She's received death threats and plenty of hate mail, but … [Read more...]

I had no idea that women were making such big moves in the conservation space, but Gabriella Hoffman is one of them who is paving the way! She's an avid fisher (wo)man, likes hunting and dedicates her time to efforts that empower both men and women in the conservation field. In fact, she has a whole podcast and YouTube series about it! At the same time, Gabby runs her own marketing and consulting business -- and her entrepreneurial spirit is incredibly inspiring and contagious!

In this interview, we talk about being a woman in these male-dominated spaces, what's its actually like to … [Read more...]

I've been watching and listening to Shannon Bream on Fox News for years, so when I got the chance to hear her speak and meet her last summer, I was thrilled! Her career story was so inspiring -- and then I found out she was writing a book! That book, her first and only (as she will tell you!), is released today! I was lucky enough to interview Shannon for the podcast and since the book release just so happens to fall on a Tuesday, we got very lucky. In our interview, Shannon reveals: "I got fired from my first TV job..he said, 'I don't know why anyone ever put you on TV or thought that was a good idea. You're the worst person I've ever seen on TV and you're never going to make it in this business." Shannon is truly as sweet as … [Read more...]

Annafi Wahed left a lucrative job in finance to join the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign. She was unfulfilled by her career and wanted to do something to make a difference. Like many people, helping out with a monumental Presidential campaign seemed like a good way to do that immediately. She was blindsided on Election Day 2016 when Donald Trump won the election -- and admits, she shed more than a few tears in the days that followed. Annafi says: "Even if you can't change the world today, if you change your world -- your small sphere of influence today -- that could someday change the world." But she soon dried her tears and start having conversations with those she didn't agree with. She didn't like the vitriol coming from her … [Read more...]
