Ali Kriegsman burned it all down—then self-published her debut novel. After walking away from a toxic startup and a stalled traditional book deal, Ali brought The Raise, a sharp, satirical thriller set in the girlboss world, to life on her own terms. In this episode, Danielle sits down with the author, entrepreneur, and former Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree to discuss how she built a cinematic book launch from scratch, what she learned about identity and self-worth, and why burning it all down was just the beginning.
