“You have to not allow your ego, or what other people think, to take over what you are really meant to do.” — Lauren Kleeman
Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and comedy writer-director Lauren Kleeman for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on Outlier’s Edge. Lauren has worked with Zendaya, Nike, LeBron James and she walked away from all of it to pursue what she was actually called to do. In this episode, we get into the identity trap high achievers fall into, what “outsourcing trust” really looks like, and how Lauren raised $10K on Kickstarter to make a short film now heading toward a full feature. This is for every leader who’s playing someone else’s game and knows it.
