Born and raised in small town Mansfield, Connecticut, Alexa Curtis knew she was different. She didn’t fit into the “normal social mold”, at just 12 years old she started a fashion blog as an outlet from difficult circumstances which later became a lifestyle website and podcast for teens and parents discussing topics such as social media and mental health which she grew to a full time platform, securing sponsorship from brands like British Airways, T-Mobile, Lands End and more.
She hosted her own radio show on Radio Disney called “Fearless Every Day” where she interviewed guests who shared their journey of overcoming adversities and chasing after their dreams. Alexa currently leads the Be Fearless Summits, which she founded in 2018. She recently launched her own consultancy focused on helping founders amplify their personal brands with public relations and modern marketing.
In this episode we discuss:
⚡️ Becoming at blogger at 12 as a cathartic outlet to deal a wrongfully imprisoned parent
⚡️ Cold pitching hundreds of people to get 'ungettable' opportunities
