Chasing Rejection: The Wild Strategy That Works with Alice Draper | 316
Manage episode 487686472 series 3603958
Let’s face it—rejection sucks. Whether it’s a gut-punch text, a polite but painful “no,” or the opportunity you swore was yours slipping through your fingers—it all sucks. But if you’re putting yourself out there (pitching, applying, risking anything at all), rejection isn’t a bug in the system. It is the system.
Enter: Alice Draper. She’s the host of the My Rejection Story podcast, founder of Hustling Writers, and a woman who knows how to turn every “no” into a bigger, better “hell yes.” Her work makes podcast guesting and publicity accessible for anyone brave enough to try—and yes, that includes you.
In this episode, we’re talking about flipping the rejection script. We explore the concept of “rejection goals” (like actually tracking your no’s), the power of micro-rejections, why a rejection community might be your secret weapon, and how embracing rejection can build the kind of confidence that doesn’t crumble the minute someone doesn’t like your pitch, post, or personality.
Alice doesn’t do fluff, fake positivity, or waking up early (same, friend), but she does deliver actionable, unfiltered insights for anyone ready to stop fearing rejection and start using it.
So grab your strongest coffee and join us—because if we’re gonna get rejected, we might as well make it worth it.
