This week on The Journey, Morgan is joined by Les Alfred, host of the Balanced Black Girl podcast. Les is sharing her journey to full-time content creator and how she is embracing growth in her 30s.

Les shares the pivotal moment when she realized she was losing money by staying in her corporate job and decided to take her podcast full-time. She and Morgan discuss the benefits of corporate experience for entrepreneurs, and how to know when it's time to commit to full-time entrepreneurship.

The conversation turns to social media trends, with Morgan and Les examining the differences between Instagram and TikTok and sharing their favorite trends from the last year. Les breaks down how she's been able to monetize her content, and she credits her self-discipline and continuous reinvestment into her business for her success.

They discuss the future of Balanced Black Girl, with Les excitedly sharing plans for merch, live shows, and inspired podcast content on friendships and dating over the next year. Les also divulges her new partnership with Dear Media and offers up some must-read books that have shaped her perspective.
