Season 3, Episode 4: Owning Your Voice and Your Value

In this Spotlight episode, Lauren O’Brien sits down with Shantel Love, author of Promote Your Damn Self, for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to own your voice, claim your value, and rise on your own terms. Shantel opens up about navigating rejection, shedding shame, and taking the bold leaps that move your career forward — even when they require stepping back first. Together, they explore how women can advocate for themselves without apology, balance assertiveness with empathy, build layered networks that protect and elevate them, and stay grounded when others bring preconceived notions into the room. Shantel’s message is clear: your story is yours, your process cannot be erased, and no amount of rejection defines your destiny.  Grab Shantel’s book, Promote Your D@mn Self™: • shantellove.com/books [http://shantellove.com/books] • Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Promote-Your-Self-Personal-Destroyed/dp/B0DF4QQJ1N [https://www.amazon.com/Promote-Your-Self-Personal-Destroyed/dp/B0DF4QQJ1N]  Book Shantel to Speak: info@shantellove.com  Connect with Shantel: • LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/shantellove [http://www.linkedin.com/in/shantellove] • YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theshantellove [https://youtube.com/@theshantellove] • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shantellovespeaks [https://www.instagram.com/shantellovespeaks] • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shantellove.com [https://www.tiktok.com/@shantellove.com] • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/168UisS6hx/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/168UisS6hx/] #globalgamingwomen [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=globalgamingwomen&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #GGW [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=ggw&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #womeningaming [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=womeningaming&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #FairGame [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=fairgame&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #FairGamePodcast [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=fairgamepodcast&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #podcast [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=podcast&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #careers [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=careers&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] email us @ fairgame@globalgamingwomen.org

Season 3 Episode 3: Trust Your Pivot

In this episode, host Bronwen Gregg sits down with Megan Azevedo of The Venetian for a conversation that blends data science, career courage, and the real‑world impact of AI. Megan shares what it means to build a career in a rapidly evolving, AI‑powered world—and why networking, affirmation, and trusting your pivots matter just as much as technical skill. From transferable strengths to the “jungle gym” she climbed instead of the traditional corporate ladder, Megan offers a refreshingly honest look at growth, grit, and going big when the moment calls for it. This hybrid Spotlight + Casino 101 episode breaks down both the magic of AI and the mindset required to thrive in a changing industry. A reminder woven throughout: culture is everyone’s job—and “scared” is not an excuse. #globalgamingwomen [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=globalgamingwomen&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #GGW [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=ggw&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #womeningaming [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=womeningaming&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #FairGame [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=fairgame&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #FairGamePodcast [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=fairgamepodcast&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #podcast [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=podcast&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #careers [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=careers&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] email us @ fairgame@globalgamingwomen.org
