With five #1 New York Timesbestsellers to her credit and 6 million books sold in more than 40 different languages, she has also become a publishing powerhouse.
"I first experimented with podcasting twelve years ago. I set up my Mac and a used microphone on my red kitchen table and talked to my then small community about shame and empathy," said Brené Brown. "I fell in love with the medium. It was real, honest, intimate, and – my favorite – unpolished. When I started thinking about my work dream list for this decade, returning to podcasting and finding a great partner was at the top of the list. I'm thrilled to make this dream come true with Cadence13 – they do real and they get it."
"Brené Brown is a force of nature who empowers and inspires millions of people with her authentic exploration of the human condition," said Chris Corcoran, Chief Content Officer, Cadence13. "Cadence13 is thrilled to partner with her to bring her transformative, powerful voice to today's podcast space."
