This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hello, hello, hello, hello.

Welcome to the naughty but nice show. I'm your host, Rob Schueter, and it's Friday, which means our dear friend Corey Andrew joins us. Hey, Corey, are you there? I am here. It's all good to see you, Rob. Hello. Hello, darling. We had quite a Thursday night together last week. We did. So fun. I love hanging out with you. And then you flew off to Atlanta

for your big live event. How did it go? I did. Thank you for mentioning that. Yes. It went really well.

It was a festival of young black podcasters and journalists who were all trying to get in the business.

And I was asked to come and speak to them and give my expertise on how to be your most

authentic self as a podcast presenter.

I love it.

And that's the key to it.

That's the key to success.

Everybody that's listening,

it doesn't matter if it's podcasting or singing or working in an office or wherever it is.

It's about being you and finding a place that loves you, that exception, that wants you.

Yes, yes.

I've worked at companies that I really desperately wanted to be ex.

They were sort of fancy pants companies.

One was the Huffington Post and I just didn didn't fit in. And it didn't make me

bad. It just made me the wrong fit. And the minute I realized that, I could find a place

where I do fit. And that is here with you, Nautis. I'm so glad it went so well. What was the

name of the organization again, Corey? Let's give it a shout out. Yes, so it's called the Black Podcast Collective, and the event was called Black Pod Festival. So it's really, really great. And also, I have to shout out, you, Rob. Thank you so much. You signed four of your books, The Forward Answer, and I gave them out to four lucky winners and they are so excited.

They loved it. So thank you for that.
