Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Strong and Sculpted, the podcast by me, Kim Constable,

The Sculpted Vegan, about all things strong and all things sculpted.

And today we have our first ever strong and sculpted interview with none other than

the editor-in-chief of Women's Health Magazine USA, the fabulous Liz Plosser. Now, let me tell

you a little story first of all about how I met Liz. So recently, I was in New York

at a big media event and there was a media panel on stage where you got to get up and pitch

yourself to this media panel. And these were bloggers and magazine editors and, you know,

TV producers and people who really were in the know in the industry.

And you had to put in an application to, you know, get up on stage and pitch yourself because you

were getting to, you know, to present yourself in front of the entire media event.

And there was hundreds of people there. And of course, whenever I heard about this opportunity,

I was like, well, I'm just going to do this. And so one day, you know, I whipped out my phone. It was just kind of, it was actually an hour before the submissions had to be in. So I just whipped out my phone, turned on my ring light. My hair was on top of my head. I looked like a telly-tubby. And I just said, hey, my names came constable. And, you know, I found it a company called the sculpted vegan and blah, blah, blah. And I said, I would love to be on stage and do this media panel. And I just told them a little bit about myself

So I wanted to like, you know, make an impression as the Irish girl wearing green. And I bought the most, you know, incredible Lucy Choi shoes with these beautiful big emerald Diamante on them and big, you know, white Diamante. And they just

looked stunning. They really stood out. So I got up on stage and I pitched myself and I got some

really incredible feedback from the, I was going to say from the judges, but they're not judges,

from the media panel, you know, from the professionals. So of course, being, you know, the kind

of person that I am after I had been on stage and after the event was over and I was on my way to the airport, actually it wasn't on my way to the airport, was back at my hotel. I went through Instagram and I found every single one of the people who had been on the media panel on Instagram and I sent them all a personal thank you note to say thank you for your feedback and just to ask for a little more clarity on some points that they had brought up,

you know, because I'm always looking to better myself. So one of the people on the media panel was

a fabulous woman by the name of Megan Murphy. Now, Megan is the editor-in-chief of Good Housekeeping Magazine USA,

which is also part of the Hersched group, Hirst magazines. So I sent her a message and she immediately
