Girlboss Radio is a weekly podcast that launched in 2015 by New York Times Bestselling Author and serial entrepreneur Sophia Amoruso. Now an integral part of the Girlboss platform, the podcast aims to elevate Girlboss' mission of providing tools for women to redefine success on their own terms, grow the Girlboss community, and gain larger recognition of the Girlboss platform as a whole.
On each episode of Girlboss Radio, host Sophia Amoruso interviews boundary-pushing women who have made their mark in creative, cultural, and business ventures. Her high-caliber guests in season two of the podcast include Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lilly Singh, Rupi Kaur, Garance Doré, Whitney Cummings, Janet Mock, and more. These women come from a wide variety of industries, and the conversations cover a range of topics, providing the Girlboss community with exposure to many different versions of success stories as they listen and learn from the best in many different professional fields.
Girlboss Radio with Sophia Amoruso is a podcast that engages their audience through insightful, candid and timely conversations about success, failure, and personal growth. Eschewing polite conversation, Sophia gets vulnerable and honest with guests in each episode, and extracts accessible advice from the lessons they've learned along the way. In each interview, Sophia wraps the conversation by asking two signature questions for the Girlboss community - "how do you define success?" and "what is a memorable Girlboss moment?"
Through listening to each new episode of Girlboss Radio (via iTunes or on Girlboss.com), the Girlboss audience is able to take away lessons and information from the conversations Sophia has with her guests - serving as a valuable resource for their platform that caters to female entrepreneurs. The content of each episode is also shared across the Girlboss social media channels to make it accessible to a wider audience. Sophia will also frequently post to her own social channels ahead of interviewing a new guest to have the Girlboss community weigh in on what questions she should ask.
