Lilly Singh

Forbes just ranked her the #1 Influencer in Entertainment in the world.

Becoming Your Own Superhero Bawse

You’ve never seen her on mainstream TV shows, movies, chart-topping singles, or billboard albums.

But you probably have seen her videos on YouTube (or a clip on Facebook).

Lilly Singh started making YouTube videos after battling severe depression in college.

She started to re-connect with her childhood creativity and she started to get good at it.

Good led to great, which led to millions of YouTube fans, huge entertainment opportunities, and one of the most recognized faces in the online entertainment community.

And she’s just getting started.

Not only is she friends with some of the biggest celebrities on the planet (The Rock to name one), Lilly is re-defining what is possible as an entertainer.

She is now a #1 NYT bestselling author, speaker, performer, vlogger, actor, singer, and she is building an empire.

But as she admits, that kind of success is not exclusive to her. It just requires you to be obsessed with it — and lots of hard work.

The phrase that comes to mind when I think of the success Lilly has created is this: “How you do one thing is how you do everything.”

Her commitment to greatness in all areas of her life is so inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to laugh and dream big with her in Episode 506.
