Armchair Expert's Monica Padman on Surprise Success & Finding Her Voice

This week, we’re joined by Monica Padman, the co-host and producer of the wildly successful Armchair Expert (https://armchairexpertpod.com/) podcast. Her career story is nothing short of inspiring as she’s gone from aspiring actress and babysitter to Dax Shepard (her Armchair Expert co-host) and Kristen Bell’s children to the all-around creative force behind the whole umbrella of Armchair Expert shows. She joined us on the heels of a massive deal announcement with Amazon and Wondery, so we get into that, too. Tune in to hear more of Monica’s story, including: • landing her first acting gigs and moving to Los Angeles. • going from babysitter to co-host of one of the biggest podcasts in the world. • what being an assistant and a producer have in common. • finding her voice and learning to let go of control. • Plus, Sali and Monica play a game of “Would You Rather?”!
