Show Notes

“I had to really convince myself to take a chance and do something different.”

—  Alison Sweeney

Alison Sweeney is not only a television celebrity. She’s also a multi-passionate entrepreneur who has woven her talent for storytelling into a number of different ventures!

Alison began acting when she was just four years old, joining the cast of the soap opera Days of Our Lives when she was only 16, a role for which she won multiple awards (including an Emmy). She also served as a host for The Biggest Loser.

Alison found that the sit-and-wait aspect of acting didn’t suit her personality — she didn’t want her career to be controlled by producers and casting directors. She decided to harness her own incredible entrepreneurial spirit and start creating her own opportunities through her production company!
