Summary

#333: If you’ve been telling yourself you want more, but your actions haven’t caught up yet… this episode is your nudge to close that gap.

In this week’s installment of the How to Get What You Want series, I’m joined by journalist, creator, and professional question-asker, the incomparable, Danielle Robay.

This conversation is a masterclass in what happens when you stop waiting and start moving.

We talk about the discipline of betting on yourself, the courage it takes to walk away from spaces that undervalue you, and why curiosity might be the most underrated success strategy there is. Danielle didn’t just hope for opportunity — she positioned herself for it, executed on it, and kept going even when the answer was no over and over again.

Because the truth is, luck favors the woman who’s already moving. The one who put herself at the bus stop — prepared, decisive and ready to get on when the door opens.

This episode is for you if…

  • Your curiosity is pulling you in a new direction.
  • You want to question everything.
  • You need the reminder that luck favors the people who prepare, show up and take the shot.
  • You say you want more yet you’re still negotiating with your comfort zone.
  • You’re done romanticizing your potential and are ready to execute.
  • You know you’re meant for more and you’re finally ready to move like it.
  • You’re ready to stop fearing rejection and understand that trying is what creates momentum and success.

0:53.4

It was just a matter of us being in the same place at the same time.

1:14.4

So I feel like this episode was meant to be. You and I share a lot of sensibilities. So I'm excited to get into the conversation so we could like go back and forth a little bit. I know. But that was a note that I had to have for myself as I was getting ready for this was like, Les, you can't let her interview you because I watch you I watch when people

1:11.6

interview you as well and you do that that's hilarious I do I usually am more comfortable

1:17.9

asking the questions and answering but I'm actually practicing being a good interviewee yep so

1:23.9

I have some things prepared you're ready yeah I'm ready your notes I'm Let's do it. So what we've been talking about on the show all month is this idea of how to get what you want. And so far this month, I've explored that in a few different areas. I did like a general solo episode talking about the attitude and belief of how to get what you want. Last week, we talked

1:45.8

about how to get what you want from more of a spiritual perspective. Cool. But what I really

1:50.4

admire about you is I think you are such a good example of somebody who has really created her

Thank you for seeing it. Yeah. And I think that there's so much that our community can really learn from you about that. Thank you. First, before we get into that, I want to bring it back to a question that I used to ask on the show that I haven't asked for a while, but I actually really want to ask you, which is, can you tell me about a time that you recently

2:21.0

felt lucky? So, yes. And can I also give you a story that I've been wanting to tell you since

2:27.0

your rebrand? Yes. Okay, so I feel lucky when I am with my parents. I think that I hit the lottery. And there's no work that
