Audacity, People Pleasing, Confidence, Threads Icks, and That One Time I Threatened To Sue Walmart (Switcheroo Series Ep. 2 with Adrienne Cruz) - Point Of The Story | Lyssna här

"You will be giving me the job, or I will call my attorney."

That's a real sentence fifteen-year-old me said to a Walmart HR rep, on the phone, in homeroom, over a paint-stirring position. I don't even know who my attorney was supposed to be; I just knew I'd already signed the papers and I wasn't about to let some HR lady tell me no.

That's basically been my whole personality since birth, and in this episode, my podcast editor Adrienne Cruz decided it was time to talk about it.

She kicked me out of the host chair, gave the whole episode a theme (Sara's Audacity), and asked me questions I had zero chance to prepare for, including "what's the most audacious thing you've ever done in business, dating, and life," which, deadass, I had two answers for in every single category.

POINT OF THE STORY

Don’t wait to feel confident before you act like it. Be loud and stop asking "why me" when the real question is always "why not me."
