Words Can Take You Anywhere with Arianna Davis

The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

Words contain the power to transport you anywhere. No matter who you are and where you are in the universe, reading a story can trigger our imagination and lead to growth.

Today's guest, Arianna Davis gravitated towards books and stories from a young age, setting the stage for a career that has, in a relatively short time, traversed the media landscape from Oprah Magazine to her current role as Editorial Director of the TODAY Show. Arianna's love for books created a deep sense of empathy and a keen eye for story.

Arianna recently released her book, What Would Frida Do? The book is a unique lens on the life of legendary artist Frida Kahlo.

Looking at Frida Kahlo's life as a masterpiece distinct from any single piece of art she created begs the question, "how can we create a masterpiece of our own lives?" This is the concept to keep at the top of mind as you press play and dive into the show.

Other highlights from the episode:

• Embracing both sides of a mixed cultural background

• Why it's important to talk openly about race and culture

• Story of getting foot in the door in the magazine world

• Difficulty prioritizing your career and work/life balance

• The reality of the challenges involved in working with a big brand like the Today show or Oprah

Enjoy!
