In this week’s episode, Lauren hosts Jazerai Allen-Lord, sneaker icon and Founder of True to Size. Jazerai opens up about turning her passion for community, culture, and sneakers into a career and we discuss finding community in the early internet days. Jaz shares how she gained confidence through other’s beliefs in her abilities, and the pivotal coaching she received when starting her own agency.
We also get personal, and the ‘Comeback Kid’ talks about the value of keeping some things private, why sentimental gifts matter so much to her, and the joy in giving her kids a front row seat to what it looks like to chase a dream.
“I firmly believe that if I’m in the position, I’m going to go balls-to-the-wall and just see what happens.” - Jazerai Allen-Lord
