Jennifer Magley on the Power of Going After What You Want
What happens when you decide to go after the thing you want and simply refuse to be told no? We’re hanging out with Jennifer Magley, a former professional athlete, on-camera host, entrepreneur, and all-around force of nature who has turned persistence into an actual strategy. We talk about her wildly ambitious Stooge Quest, her current mission to get on The Pat McAfee Show, her love of WWE, and why she keeps saying yes to opportunities that might make other people a little uncomfortable. Jennifer also shares her take on confidence, social media, networking, and why you don’t need a huge following to make meaningful connections. If you’re anything like us, you’ll leave this conversation thinking, “Why not me?”
