In this episode, I sit down with Lucie Fink, a powerhouse creator, video producer, and entrepreneur who made her mark in digital media creating viral video series at Refinery29 before building her own brand and media company.
Known for her creativity, storytelling, and ability to stay ahead of the curve, she’s worked with major global brands and built a loyal audience across platforms, truly someone who understands what it takes to stand out in a crowded space. We get into the behind-the-scenes decisions, mindset shifts, and bold moves that completely changed the trajectory of her career, and how she went from working behind the scenes to building something of her own. We also dive into YouTube in 2026, what’s actually working right now, what creators are getting wrong, and why so many people are still hesitant to start.
Lucie shares powerful insights around growth, content strategy, and how to approach the platform in a way that sets you up for long-term success.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overthinking your next move, or wondering if it’s “too late” to start… this episode is going to give you a whole new perspective (and probably the push you need to finally go for it).
