Emmy-winning producer Shannon Malone-deBenedictis joins Lauren for a raw, hilarious, and unfiltered chat about showing up unapologetically in a world full of BS. From surviving Hollywood’s image obsession to calling out the epidemic of weak leadership hiding behind subtext, Shannon breaks down why being direct is the ultimate power move. Expect F-bombs, stories of sharks and water buffalo, and a no-holds-barred look at fat bias in media, the myth of mentorship, and why problem-solving—not perfection—is the real career flex.
