About this episode

For the first time we are making the Conversation original TV series interviews available on the pod. This is part of a miniseries featuring the first guests to appear on the show. In this mini-episode, we feature Lady Gaga. 

Lady Gaga always knew she wanted a larger than life music career and has done everything possible to pursue that dream and goal. In my chat with Lady Gaga she reflects on a dark period in her life, and refocusing her attention on her music, career, and finding happiness. She shares that she wants young women to know, “It’s important to remember that you have to be the sole source of your happiness. It is up to you, no one else.”


 


IN THIS EPISODE: 



  • [00:32] Lady Gaga reflects on her teenage years and the growing up she needed to do

  • [02:30] How did Lady Gaga’s parents influence her views of marriage, and how did she deal with loneliness early in her career 

  • [04:30] Lady Gaga discusses a dark period in her life

  • [06:05] How she overcame and started focusing on music and happiness

  • [08:30] Lady Gaga’s advice to women

  • [09:13] Lady Gaga responds to Amanda’s rapid-fire questions 



 


KEY TAKEAWAYS:



  • Artists should dedicate their time, effort and energy to what they want to become in life.

  • There is a myth that cocaine makes you better at what you do. Often, it just makes you sick.

  • Don’t rely on a man to make you happy. That is your responsibility, and it’s unfair to him.
