In This Episode

In this episode, Michael chats with Carrolee Moore—entrepreneur, storyteller, and fierce advocate for underrepresented voices. From her early years in Jamaica creating entire imaginary worlds in her backyard to navigating a new culture in Boston, Carrolee’s journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and refusing to hide.

She shares how losing her hair unexpectedly became a catalyst for stepping into her true self, leading her to help overlooked experts find their voice and share their ideas with the world. Her upcoming podcast, The Currency of Visibility, is a love letter to her former self—a reminder that success is not about fitting in, but about being rooted in truth.

The conversation winds through memories of Jamaican breakfasts, the cultural layers of Boston, life in Texas, and the lessons she’s learned in different “seasons” of life, including the loss of her father. Carrolee opens up about journaling as a tool for self-discovery, why empathy grows from lived experience, and her advice to rebels in waiting: make sure your goals are truly yours, not borrowed from someone else’s definition of success.
