Oprah, Rachel Hollis, Jay Shetty... & Why the Heck People Listen to Them

from BIG FAN · host Nicole Kang

Nikki is joined by the wonderful Ann Vu Ngo to discuss the uncharted world of motivational speakers.  For decades, a select group of people have gained significant momentum in dishing out motivation and inspiration through interviews, conferences, speeches, books, and more. Everybody and their mother's have heard of Oprah and Tony Robbins... and we ourselves have come to know speakers like Jay Shetty and Rachel Hollis. But what is their deal? Are they legit or are they problematic? And why are people so drawn to them? In this episode, Ann shares her personal experience with motivational speakers and how they have impacted her own trajectory while Nikki tries to differentiate between motivational speakers and our modern-day "influencer." If you have ever googled "inspirational quotes" before, or pinned an impactful quote on Pinterest.... you're gonna seriously enjoy this one! Thank you so much for listening to episode three of season two!!
