You are what you eat, the saying goes, and this idea is especially true for the content you consume. If all you follow are reality show celebrities or appearance-obsessed influencers, you’re not going to feel too great about yourself. But if you follow the advice of this week’s guest, Danielle Robay, currently a correspondent for NBC and formerly the youngest TV host in Chicago, you’ll take a more intentional approach to find content that helps you learn and grow.
Danielle wants to be the millennial Barbara Walters and she’s well on her way. She talks to Jacq about her moment with Billy Porter at the Emmys, how the “Me Too” movement is shaking out in her industry, and why she left a lucrative dream job when she found out her male cohost made a third more than she did.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, Danielle has great advice: take the leap and the net will appear.
