"These questions might make my guests a little uncomfortable." (SOLO Episode) | The Real Stuff

To properly introduce you to The Real Stuff podcast, I’m sitting down and diving into all the dirty details. In today's solo episode, you'll learn everything from the driving force behind the series to the line of questioning I plan on asking my guests, the show's format, and more. This series has been a long time coming, and there's never been a better time for these important conversations to unfold.
What’s inside?
- Why I chose to record a solo episode for episode 1
- How my platforms have changed and evolved over the years since my Refinery29 days
- What types of conversations I’m interested in having
- The format each future episode will take
- Some boundaries I’ve set in my life and how I plan to explore them in future episodes
- The types of questions I want to ask my guests in the realms of sex, money, and mental health
- The story of how I wound up sharing my business’s revenue on social media
- How you can apply to be a guest on the show (anonymously, if you wish)
- How I anticipate future guests feeling uncomfortable or rejecting my offer to come on the show
- The story of one creator who already backed out of an interview with me
- How I feel about connecting with people from my audience and community
- Why podcasting feels like the best medium for me at this moment in time
- My goals for the podcast (pssst. it’s not monetization)

[@drivethrutours1916]

Would you consider making more personal finance content as well?

[@bethanyharker3456]

I am SO looking forward to your podcast, I recently got into podcasts because I have a longer commute to work and Ive been looking forward to listening to your podcast on my commute!

[@ishanegi4302]

It's been wonderful to watch you grow, wish you luck on this journey, Lucie!!

[@lindanguyen9102]

So excited for this podcast!!! I love how you state what to expect in this episode in an ordered list format in the description. Hoping you can continue to do that in the future episodes! It helps me follow along! I'd love to see alix earle & and isaac rochell as guests.

[@lyndseymacintyre8110]

[@nataliasmialek9]

Hi Lucie, I live in London and have been following you for a while now . Just wanted to say that I love your content and keep coming back for more. In terms of guests on the show, it would be interesting to hear from your parents and in-laws as well as your siblings, both of them.

[@06lelena]

UHULLLL!! Brazil already here! Always following your steps, pure pure pure inspiration

[@ancafrecateanu]

Best of luck, Lucie! ❤ Can't wait for the next thousand episodes! 😊 Sending love from Romania, as usual. I've been following you for 10 years or so, and I love seeing your evolution and the fact that even though I've also changed a lot, I still relate to your content (maybe even more since becoming a mom as well).

[@norasalvatart]

I love the idea Lucie. I think you are a visionary because this is the future. There has been enough secrets and tabus. We need to leave this behind. Information and knowledge is power. I’m sure you’ll find or attract the right people that will be willing to answer honestly their thoughts. Doing this we all become stronger and more open about ourselves. Thank you for being a visionary ♥️

[@luciebfink]

Wowwww🙏❤️😭

[@jennharman2396]

Application submitted!! I am so excited to for this Pod Cast and for everything you are going to discuss!! This is SO NEEDED!!!!

[@justmeherexx482]

You are amazing! Good luck with your new endeavors ❣️❣️❣️

[@MsLizzy981]

I can't imagine what it will be like with guests (in a good way). There was a point when you talked about living on this earth together at the same time that made this feel like such an intimate conversation. I thought it was a conversation with a really close friend.

[@luciebfink]

So happy to see you enjoyed episode 2 with Mike ❤

[@maries2419]

happy for you ❤

[@AmericanCoyote]

Woohoo thank you Lucie 🎉🙌

[@christinaburns4798]

I’d love to hear Liz Plank!

[@effie5238]

I don't even need to listen (though you know I will!), because I already know I'm going to love it, like I do everything Lucie does!

[@strawberrykatnz]

I like this approach rather than the stock standard content. Will you cover creators who put their kids online and what they intend to do to protect their kids based on that fact a large portion of their incomes is dependent on their kids rather than creative ability? I think a good guest could be Josh from the Dad Challenge Podcast, he is fairly down to earth, pushes limits, straightforward and passionate about stopping child exploitation and he goes into the fact creators deny that their incomes often come from their children being put online and asks family vloggers what proportion of their income is going to their kids based on view counts etc. He actually put his own life story and background into a 4 part video series on his channel, so he might be game.

[@mdickens9680]

Ideas for guests: Becca Bristow, Aspyn Ovard, Tara Michelle, Tara Henderson (all KZbinrs)

[@SamarkandChan]

I think chealsea from the financial diet would be good.

[@eattravelhome]

Amazing work, Lucie!! 🤍 As usual, I’m super engaged with your thought out content, inspired by your hard work and motivated by your words. I’m excited for what's to come. It’s been a wild ride following you for 6+ years and I can't get enough, so I'm happy for these new chapter which means more Fink to my daily life. Good luck! x✨ -Saly

[@luciebfink]

Thank you so much!!😭😭😭🙏
