Unicorn Messaging

Equal parts relatable and inspiring, The Bold Founder is a refreshing take on the “I did it and so can you” genre of shows. It had me laughing at the messy moments (like when she mentioned starting a podcast instead of a show so she wouldn’t have to worry about bad hair days), nodding my head in commiseration at her hard moments, and pausing to write down great quotes. There were so many great takeaways in each episode - ep 1 covered Lucy’s journey up until now (shout-out to her interviewer, Chelsea, for the great questions and banter), eps 2 and 4 functioned as mini workshops (one on uncovering your values, the other on describing your band voice) and ep 3 was an interview with another founder, Shaina, who broke down long-perpetuated myths that discourage people from owning their expertise. I really like the different content formats across each episode, including interviews, mini workshops, personal anecdotes, and more - it made each ep feel fresh, and kept me wanting to hear more. There’s something for everyone: as an aspiring artist, I found a lot of what Lucy had to say on her founder journey relatable and encouraging in my own way, including leaning on your values to guide you, and how you can’t wait around until you “feel” ready to do the scary vulnerable thing, you have to just jump in and start doing it (and embracing titles before you feel you quite live up to them). I already have a running list of my values, and I took my “bold founder action” of sharing some of my artistic work today. Some of my standout quotes: - “It’s so easy to fake knowledge and have this platform these days, it’s important that we go through the feedback that we’re getting and ask ourselves: who is this coming from and what place is it coming from? and not let it shake the identity in our heart that we know to be true.” - “If you can get clear on you are and what’s important to you, and then you’re able to look for those things in other people, opportunities, paths, and decisions, you’re bringing an intentionality to the table that’s allowing you to expand and go so much further.” - “When you find your crazies, that’s when everything gets better.” I listened to all four debut episodes in one sitting, and am eagerly looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, humor, and encouragement with your listeners, Lucy.

Lucy puts it all on the table. Every episode of this podcast is incredibly witty and insightful. By the end of each episode I felt inspired to take action and be more bold in my day-to-day life. It’s invaluable for founders of all shapes and sizes. Even if you’re not a business owner or entrepreneur, there are definitely pieces that resonate beyond that world. It’s tough to move forward with your ideas when you lean perfectionist, and I love that Lucy embraces and celebrates the mess of reality. Her takes are refreshing and I could listen to her all day. Do yourself a favor and give this podcast a good listen. Do it!

Love Lucy’s extremely original voice and perspective on all things related to copy, branding, and the founder journey. This is a must-listen for all founders (and aspiring founders!)

The Bold Founder is exactly what I’m looking for in a entrepreneur/founder podcast and exactly what I’d expect from Lucy! Lucy’s approach to business is the reason I hired her as a copywriter and her podcast is a great reflection of that. She’s funny, honest, and of course, bold. It’s a must-listen!
