The founder of Boss Women Media and Black Girl Magic summit shares tips on how to stop playing it safe—and start creating a life that's truly your own.

Marty McDonald’s pivotal career moment was nothing if not audacious: she stopped the CEO of a candy company in a hallway, pitched her idea for a special gummy bear flavor, and was soon promoting the Black Girl Magic gummy bear at Sugarfina stores around the country.

​Now, Marty has penned a guide to help women go after their most audacious goals in work and everyday life, and make them a reality. With unflinching honesty, McDonald recounts her personal stories of triumph and failure, offering an intimate look into the audacious decisions that propelled her from uncertainty to success. From navigating the unknown to breaking through barriers that seemed insurmountable, McDonald reveals the mindset, strategies, and bold actions required to turn fear into fuel and transform dreams into reality. She helps women:

·Set aside fear and write a different narrative
·Grow comfortable taking risks
·Understand the investments you must make in yourself
·Understand that "no" is just the beginning of the conversation
·Learn other ways to make a difference beyond themselves

Whether you’re looking to level up in your career, create a life of meaning, or embrace the wild unknown of new possibilities, Audacious provides the blueprint to help women find their authentic selves, reach for their wildest dreams, and craft the life they want and deserve.

The Art of the Pitch: What Every Entrepreneur & Professional Should Hear 🎤

🎧 Just finished listening to Audacious by Marty McDonald while driving, great book! It really opened my eyes. So many gems in this one. She’s like having a top-tier biz coach in your ear, especially with how she breaks down pitching ideas to corporations and knowing your value.

I’m in real estate, and this gave me a real push to start incorporating some of her mindset and strategies into my business now. It definitely changed how I think about timing, confidence, and going after it — and it might just change how you make your next moves too.

What I really loved toward the end is how she keeps faith, family, and friends at the center of everything, a great reminder that success means nothing if you lose yourself or your people along the way.

Be fearless & great. 💪🏽
