Say Yes (with Elizabeth Gilbert)

On this episode of Professional Troublemaker, Luvvie is in conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert for her Onward Book Club that she holds each month on her Instagram Live. Elizabeth created the Onward Book Club as a way of spotlighting, studying, and celebrating the work of Black female authors, and Luvvie was honored to be her guest in April as Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual was spotlighted.
Elizabeth and Luvvie have a wide-ranging conversation, featuring some stories that hadn't been told yet on the Professional Troublemaker Tour. They talk about Luvvie's grandmother and her story in more detail, and why her story and spirit are so integral to the book, drawing boundaries around what is sacred, why Liz and Luvvie mutually don’t believe in the concept of fearlessness. You'll also get some behind-the-scenes stories from Luvvie's TED talk and a really great moment where they discuss dreaming audaciously and what that looks like.

Be the Friend You Need
Professional Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi Jones
03/02/22 • 38 min
Friendship is a verb. It requires action. Friendship requires honesty, accountability, and action. This world is too crazy to walk through alone. So if you're trying to disrupt for the greater good, you're gonna need this backup.
People tend to throw the term friendship around frivolously, but not Luvvie. In this solo episode, Luvvie expands on a conversation she started on Glennon Doyle’s podcast and discusses the critical role friends play in our lives. Luvvie shares her definition of what it means to be a friend and the weight that word carries for her and how to end a friendship in a grace-filled way. Luvvie also answers questions submitted by her audience and tackles the question of whether Black women and white women can be friends.
There's so much goodness in this episode, and we hope as a result of listening you reach out to a friend who matters to you. Investing in your relationships is something that will keep rewarding you for the rest of your life. So be the friend that you would like to have.

Rachel is telling some powerful and formative stories she’s never shared before. She talks all about her career as a lawyer and how she shifted into the coaching and entrepreneurial space, and why she’s so passionate about making sure women – especially Black women – have the knowledge and tools they need to build multi-generational wealth.

On and Popping - Trailer
Professional Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi Jones
02/15/18 • 1 min
My people!!! My name is Luvvie Ajayi and I’m a writer, speaker and professional troublemaker! My side-eye is my superpower, and my love language is shoes. I’ve been blogging for a while, and AwesomelyLuvvie.com is where I go to talk about everything pop culture, from tv and movies, to travel, to social media and tech, to race and politics. I also cover shenanigans.
I wrote my first book, called I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual, in 2016. Because I’m the judgey angel sitting on your shoulder telling you to get it together.
I'm excited to be launching my podcast “Rants and Randomness” after all this time. I’ll be bringing you episodes about books and shows I’m loving, things I side-eye and chatting with people I find interesting. A lot of those people will be my friends, who happen to do dope things. Why? Because I’m a fan of nepotism.
In this topsy turvy world we live in, where Cheetos run the place and our smart homes might be trying to kill us in our sleep, there is a lot to rant about. I’ll be sharing my most pressing rants, raves, faves, and fails from this crazy thing called life.
So join me here, and follow me on social media at @Luvvie everywhere.
Oh and subscribe to Rants and Randomness on Apple Podcasts!
Experience the Valley (How I Almost Went Bankrupt)
Professional Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi Jones
05/14/24 • 52 min
In this episode, Luvvie dives deep into 'The Crumbling' - the most tumultuous period of Awe Luv Media - as it faces operational chaos, underperformance, and financial distress in the first half of 2023. Luvvie recounts experiences of unexpected challenges, including unmet deadlines, poor productivity, and critical financial losses that brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy. Despite overemphasizing core values, setting clear priorities, and empowering the team, mistakes continued left and right, leading to the firing of all but one of seven internal team members.
In the midst of these challenges, Luvvie also celebrates the successful launch of her fourth book, 'Little Troublemaker Makes a Mess,' which, in spite of all the seemingly insurmountable hurdles, becomes a New York Times bestseller, providing a glimmer of hope and validation amidst the crisis. The episode reflects on leadership, the importance of trust within a team, and the personal and professional toll of navigating business failures, setting the stage for the next episode: recovery and rebuilding.
