I'm busting out my French on today\u2019s episode. This week I\u2019m releasing two interviews with two extraordinary self-made female online entrepreneurs, both happen to be students of Ramit Sethi\u2019s Zero To Launch course, which by the way, I\u2019m working my way through as we speak and it\u2019s phenomenal. Hopefully it\u2019s going to get me to where I want to be in the next few months launching my course.
I had the opportunity to stop by Ramit\u2019s epic Forefront Event earlier this fall. It\u2019s an event where he invited some 500 of his disciples and fans from all over the world to join him in New York for a weekend of connecting, events, adventure. And by the way, I had Ramit on the podcast earlier back when I was first launching, in fact episode 85. Check out that interview; very cool. I\u2019ve also had his sister Nagina on the show, his mom Neelam. It\u2019s a very exceptional family.
My first one-on-one from the forefront event, you\u2019re going to hear her today is G\xe9raldine Lep\xe8re and she is the CEO of Comme une Francaise, an online program that teaches you all about the finer points of conversation, social graces and repartee in French. Now, why do I want her on the show? I\u2019m a self-described Francophile, okay? And I selfishly wanted to meet her. First of all, I wanted her to rate my French, and I wanted to discover how through language, we can actually connect more authentically with French people. Because I\u2019ve had the experience, right? Go to Paris, I\u2019m checking into my hotel, it\u2019s my honeymoon. I\u2019m practicing how I\u2019m going to greet the check in at the hotel all the way from the airport to the hotel. I\u2019m such a nerd. I\u2019m like, \u201cAm I going to say salute? Am I going to say bonjour? Like what am I going to say? How do you say I want one bed instead of two beds?\u201d and I\u2019m going through all my high school French, or I should say college French. And I get there and I busted out my French and the woman just stares at me and responds in English.
Yeah, I\u2019ve been there. I\u2019ve been there people. So how do we sound French to the French? And G\xe9raldine has some ways that we can do this. So if you are interested, keep listening. If you\u2019re not interested in that, keep listening anyways because you\u2019re going to hear how she built her success through trial and error and how she thinks about money per her French upbringing and the one item in her budget for which she spares no expense.
