Creating a life that is authentic, bold and purposeful takes audacity.

It takes disruption.

That is what it means to be a professional troublemaker.

Professional troublemaker is a book, a podcast, and a life habit.

I'm your host, Lavi Jaii Jones.

Best seller of books, aficionado of authenticity, and sorcerers of side eyes.

Here to bring you perspectives, conversations, and deep dives about culture, business, leadership,

and life.

Plus, my conversations are with world movers and change agents who have gotten where they

are through their tenacity, their truth telling, and commitment to making good trouble.

My hope is that this show compels you to do big things in a world where we have so much

to fear.

Let this be an arena of audacity for you.

Let's get into it.

knew it was what felt right.

I'm still this girl, this little troublemaker.

I look at pictures of me when I was a kid nice smile because I've managed to stay true
