A New Favorite in My Feed!

The absolute BEST way to get to know the people behind the business. Alexis is a fantastic interviewer and brings out the best in each of her guests, so every single episode is a joy to listen to - I can’t recommend this show enough! 🔥

I don’t use the word hero very often…

Alexis has created my favorite podcast. I have listened to every single episode and I am enchanted by it. I hope we get hundreds of episodes more!

I don’t think is an exaggeration when I say that Alexis is the greatest hero in American history (podcast edition).

My only wish is that she starts a new episode format just with Q&A. We need her opinion on many things!

Cheers!
