Jenna slows the pace and reminds us that you can't know where you're going until you know where you are.

And how can we if we don't take a moment to pause and check in with how we really are or how we really feel?

Hey, my name is Jenna Kutcher and I am obsessed with all things business, marketing, numbers, and helping you to navigate both the messy and the magical seasons of this thing called life.

I'm a small town mama who took a $300 camera, grew a successful photo biz, and now I work from home in Runa 7 figure online business.

I teach you the tried and true secrets to building a career you adore.

Shia away from the real talk? No way. Money, hardship, growth, loss, and marketing are all topics we discuss here.

Think of this as your one stop shop for happy hour with a gal pal mixed with business school.

Pull up a seat, make sure you're cozy, and get ready to be challenged and encouraged while you learn.

This is the Gold Digger Podcast. I honestly can't believe it. My book is going out into the world tomorrow.

It is being released after two years of work. It just feels honestly surreal.

And I think that nearly every single author has this one thing on their mind as they write their book.

They're thinking, I wonder what my reader will think about this story.

It's like you can't help but visualize their point of view as they take in your words for the first time.

Are they going to find surprises and meanings where even the author didn't know they left it?

What's going to be their biggest takeaway? What will they talk about over coffee with a friend as they say?

Actually, it just read something like this in a book that I'm reading.

See, here's how I look at it. Readers are the recipients of the love letter that is a book.

And today I finally get to hear some replies to that letter. And the best part is so do you.

I am stepping away from the mic today so that real readers of my first debut book, how are you really can tell you why they picked up this book,

share their own unique perspectives and reactions to its stories and what lessons they want to integrate into their lives.

And I heard a spoiler, but there are some special messages embedded in this episode for me that you get to listen in on as well.

Now, before I let these readers speak, I want to remind you, you can pick up your copy of how are you really wherever books are sold or by going to how are you really book.com.
