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, Lovey Jai Jones, bestseller of books,

aficionado of authenticity, and source-risk of side eyes.

Here to bring you conversations with world-movers and change agents

who have gotten where they are through their tenacity,

their truth-telling, and commitment to making good trouble.

From time to time, I'll even do deep dives on topics that are on my spirit.

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

Let us know when you encourage. Listen in.

This week, I am so excited because my third book, Rising Troublemaker,

a fear fighter manual for teens is out now, and available where ever books are sold

in hardcover ebook, audiobook, and I wrote this book for a teenage lovey.

I want to tell her that what made her different is her superpower,

and that I know she wants to help people, but being a doctor was not how she was going to do it.

She won't even like hospitals.

I want to remind her that she doesn't have to carry other people's dreams,

and that hers will unfold in ways that she could have never imagined.

There are many things that we didn't learn as teenagers that we should have.

We were too busy, wishing we were grown, and not knowing that all of this is kind of smokes and mirrors.
