Summary
There’s something undeniably contagious about Lindsey Simcik’s personality. It’s no wonder why the podcast and brand she co-founded, Almost 30, along with Krista Williams is thriving. Real talk: I had a total fangirl moment when the two of us sat down in Los Angeles recently. In episode 98, Lindsey talks to me about her upbringing, what it was like as an aspiring Broadway star (also: part-time drink-slinger) in New York City, and the unexpected proposition that had her moving to the west coast. She tells me about laying the groundwork for Almost 30, and the important steps that the duo took before going live with their big idea. We chat going on tour, being vulnerable with a whole lot of strangers, dating life woes, and so much more. If you like what you hear here, click on over to Almost 30 in the iTunes Store.
