Aspire with Emma Grede · Why Execution Matters More Than The Right Idea with Issa Rae · 10 Feb 2026 podcast

So the chapter feels like, yeah, new beginnings is the right thing.

And I was telling the company that it feels like a show and prove season in a new way.

You still feel like you have to prove yourself?

Yeah, but I'm happy to.

Like I want to prove myself in new ways.

In new mediums, I want to prove myself in the work that I do.

I've been writing a lot more and also just kind of taking a step back in certain areas.

So I'm just re-evaluating where I am, but in an exciting way and just trying not to allow myself to feel too comfortable with the direction that I've taken, you know?

Both?

Yeah.

When you say necessity, that resonates with me specifically just because I don't want to feel stuck in any one place.

And I don't want to feel like I'm doing the same thing over again.

I love a routine, but I don't want to feel like...

It's work and I know what to expect every day.

Because, you know, like ownership, you kind of get to dictate your path and you get to...

You run the show.

I'm a bossy bitch.

Like, I've been that way since I was young.

And I don't mean it in, like, the Khalees way.

Like, I'm bossy.
