Jul 28 2023 • 58 mins

Tracy Clark & Alexia Raven talk about building a life of continuous adventure and personal growth. Alexia shares her mindsets and practices for making ongoing progress towards her goals personally and professionally.

Alexia gives a mini-master class on marriage and shares her potentially controversial viewpoint that marriage is “easy”. We talk through what prompted Alexia to move from Hollywood to the Hill Country and start her own company, Maverix Insights and Strategy, after over two decades of corporate work in the qualitative research space, including at the top executive levels as Vice President of Warner Brothers Discovery Global Research & Insights Group, and roles at iHeart Radio, Lin Television and FOX Broadcast Network.

Books

  • Invisible Influence: The Hidden Forces that Shape Behavior | By Jonah Berger | I am fascinated by society & culture and why people make the decisions they do.  Jonah Berger writes that we are all influenced by others and most of the time this is subconscious - we don’t even realize it.

  • The Millionaire Next Door | By Thomas Stanley & William Danko | I read this many many years ago, but it really changed my perception with money and how to manage it.  Such a great resource.

  • Braving The Wilderness |  By Brene Brown |At Warner Bros. we had the privilege of having Brene come speak to the studio.  After that, I read her book and it gave me some real-world tips I use in my everyday life.  What is the story I’m telling myself?  I use that a ton!
