Alex Cooper advises entrepreneurs to stay focused and trust their instincts, revealing key lessons from her success.

Alex Cooper, the host of the Call Her Daddy podcast, has shared her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of focus and trusting one's instincts. In an exclusive interview with People, Cooper, who recently launched her beverage line Unwell Hydration, highlighted the value of focusing on one thing you excel at rather than spreading yourself too thin. “Don’t try to appease everyone. Don’t try to do a million things at once,” she advised, encouraging people to trust their gut and hone in on their expertise.

Cooper's entrepreneurial journey began in 2018 with Call Her Daddy, which quickly rose to fame and was acquired by Barstool Sports within a month of launching. In 2021, she signed a lucrative deal with Spotify for the podcast, worth $60 million, and announced that Call Her Daddy would move to SiriusXM next year in a deal reportedly exceeding $100 million.

Aside from her podcast success, Cooper also founded The Unwell Network in 2023, a platform dedicated to new shows and creators. Reflecting on her rise, she advises future entrepreneurs to prioritize standout ideas and remain committed. She pointed out that for nearly five years, she focused exclusively on Call Her Daddy, rejecting other opportunities to concentrate solely on her podcast's success. This dedication and focus, she believes, played a key role in her achievements.
