Lex P, co-host of the popular “Pour Minds” podcast, recently shared her journey from working a traditional 9-to-5 job to becoming a full-time entrepreneur.
During an exclusive chat at InvestFest 2024’s VIP Night, Lex P opened up about the struggles and triumphs she faced while transitioning into entrepreneurship, offering valuable insights for aspiring creators.
Reflecting on her early days in content creation, Lex P revealed that she worked at European Wax Center while juggling her podcasting ambitions.
Despite the growing success of the “Pour Minds” podcast, she hesitated to leave her stable job, facing an ultimatum from her employer.
“I cried because I didn’t know if I was ready for it,” Lex P explained. “But it was either follow your dream and make yourself a successful entrepreneur or continue to make somebody else rich.”
Lex P’s journey to success wasn’t a solo one. Alongside her co-host, Drea Nicole, the two began their partnership with “Wine Down Wednesdays,” which evolved into the podcast they are known for today.
At the 2024 Essence Festival, Lex and Drea shared their experiences on the “Parental Advisory” panel, speaking about the importance of authenticity in content creation.
They explained that their rise to success was gradual and imperfect, but their commitment to consistency helped them grow.
“You have to be okay with your journey and start somewhere,” Drea said. “The beautiful thing about Lex and I is that it wasn’t perfect when we started. We were just trying things to see what was going to stick.”
Through their podcast, Lex P and Drea Nicole continue to inspire audiences, covering relatable topics like dating, adulthood, and friendship, while highlighting the importance of perseverance and self-belief.
For aspiring entrepreneurs, Lex P’s advice is clear: “Prioritize what’s best for you. Don’t be afraid to take that leap.”
