Refinery 29's Lucie Fink: Creating the Perfect Job & Swapping Neuroscience for Media

"A lot of my friends seemed to be in that boat where everything was
sort of linear and I was just weaving. I definitely was stressed
but if I have a takeaway from it, it's that the stress didn't help
me figure it out at all." My guest this week is Video Producer,
Lifestyle Host and Stop Motion Artist Extraordinaire, Lucie Fink.
With a career that reads like a modern-day Millennial fairy-tale,
Lucie wrote up her dream job description and the role was created
for her at the digital media company Refinery 29\. Such magic,
however, does not happen without one hell of a lot of hard work,
undeniable talent and ambition. Driven by a relentless curiosity
and enthusiasm for connecting with others, Lucie breathes colour
into everything she creates. For almost three years, she’s filled
Refinery 29’s YouTube and social media channels, with a string of
astoundingly successful series such as ‘Try Living with Lucie’,
where she takes on social experiments for five days at a time.
Whether it’s 5 days of eating nothing but pizza or 5 days of
wearing the same outfit, Lucie throws herself in hook, line and
sinker. In this episode, Lucie talks all about how she found her
calling and the life-changing decisions she's made along the way.
From switching from neuroscience to creative writing, taking the
plunge to join a company she not yet heard of, and introducing new
challenges to her life on a regular basis in her YouTube series
'Try Living with Lucie'. She also shared invaluable advice to
anyone wanting to see where their creativity could take them. She
may only be 25 years old, but Lucie has buckets full of wisdom to
share. If you enjoy this episode When I Grow Up, I would LOVE it if
you could leave a review or comment… it really helps with getting
it out there. **Follow me: ** Twitter:
