Summary

This week I'm playing unsolicited publicist and giving my full reputational u-turn strategy for Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and Chappell Roan. One is trying too hard to be cool and needs to stop. One stopped being cool and needs to get it back. And one just needs a nervous system reset and maybe a public speaking coach for a few tweaks. No one asked for this advice but I'm annoying and controlling so I'm here to give it! This year, hit your goals without giving up your favorite bready dishes.

0:00.0	Hello, hello everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Fluently Ford. And today we are
0:04.4	fluently fixing three celebrities. This is an episode I'm really excited for because a couple
0:09.7	weeks ago I was on a plane ride and I feel like you get the best ideas of what to do on a plane ride
0:15.3	in the shower, driving a car, really anywhere where you can't access your laptop and like write down what you're
0:21.6	going through. Isn't that just how it works? But I had this incredible idea for how I think I could
0:26.2	fix Justin Timberlake and take the word fixing, you know, lightly because obviously I am a
0:31.8	controlling person and I do want to control all of these celebrities like I'm a puppet master.
0:37.1	But they are real people and they're
0:38.8	allowed to do what they want. But at any rate, I think that there's three people we can agree on
0:43.7	that need a little bit of a reputational U-turn right now. And that's Justin Timberlake,
0:48.4	Will Smith, and Chapel Rhone. I really only had the idea for Justin Timberlake, but then I asked
0:52.8	you guys on Instagram, who else needs a reputational U-turn? With these three specific celebrities, I don't think it's
0:59.1	that they're canceled per se. I think they're not irrelevant, but I think they could use a little
1:05.3	boost in getting back to the limelight in a way that would be satisfactory to them. So that's what we're doing today. We are going full unsolicited publicist and giving advice to the limelight in a way that would be satisfactory to them. So that's what we're doing today.
1:11.6	We are going full unsolicited publicist and giving advice to these three celebrities.
1:16.2	And for what it's worth, every single piece of advice is blatantly different, especially
1:20.8	what I have for Justin and Will.
1:23.1	So without further ado, let's get into it because I just always find these types of episodes
1:26.7	so fun. Today's episode is brought to you by Shopify.
1:31.8	Starting something new is hard. It feels like such an uphill battle and there's so much work
1:36.1	that goes into it, whether it's a podcast or a new business. And what really helps is having
1:40.6	a partner like Shopify on your side. Shopify is the e-commerce platform behind
