#46 The Alice Lemée Route

Alice Lemée is a writer, strategist, and creator of Internetly, a newsletter exploring identity, creativity, and online business. 

In this episode, Alice opens up about the moment she realized freelancing wasn’t her long-term path, how she coined the concept of “Creator Gravity,” and why building something meaningful requires messy, unglamorous work behind the scenes. From a failed music internship during COVID to going viral on Twitter, Alice shares how she turned rejection into a full-time writing career—eventually building newsletters for top creators like Miss Excel and growing an audience of her own.
