In this week’s episode, long-time best friends Franchesca Ramsey and De’Lon Grant of the “Lemme Fix It” podcast spill the secret to hosting a podcast with your best friend—without it resulting in a falling out—while still juggling a personal life, self-care, multiple hobbies and jobs, and mental health. Ramsey and Grant are both multi-hyphenates in the entertainment industry with credits ranging from staff writer on the now (unjustly) canceled iCarly reboot to ensemble cast member in Tony Award-nominated Broadway musicals to supporting actor in various Hollywood TV and film productions, and much more. Inspired by conversations they’ve had during their frequent hours-long phone calls, each episode of“Lemme Fix It” centers around Ramsey and Grant taking TV shows, events, celebrities, movies, music, etc. from the early zeitgeist and rebranding, or “fixing” them for today’s world. Over 6 months and 32 episodes later, Ramsey and Grant’s friendship—and podcast—is still thriving.

Franchesca Ramsey went viral. Her video Stuff White Girls Say to Black Girls (I addd a euphemism with Stuff) took off like a rocket ship. She was an early adopter of YouTube and created regular videos, but that one video really went viral. Imagine if your video was picked up by MSNBC, Mtv, the BBC. Even Anderson Cooper, who had a network show at the time, came knocking at her door for an interview. We all have choices about what to do when the work we love gets super-popular. Franchesca eventually thrived as she now works as a writer for The Nightly Show with Larry Willmore on Comedy Central. But she hit a lot of bumps on the way. She is a great example of the influencer economy because she put in the work to become successfull. She wasn't solely focused on fame and money, like many people are in the digital economy. Listen to the Stories From The Influencer Economy archives with entrepreneurs like Brad Feld, Troy Carter and Burnie Burns of Rooter Teeth at our Influencer Economy website: http://www.influencereconomy.com/ Please leave a review on iTunes - it really helps us get organically discovered on iTunes by new listeners. And be honest: http://www.influencereconomy.com/itunes/ Early on in life Franchesca a teacher of hers asked her what she wanted to be known for later in life. The teacher asked her to list three characteristics, and Franchesca wrote down she wanted to be known as 1) honest 2) smart 3) funny and when she was older Larry Willmore and the team @ The Nightly Show hired her for those traits.
