Authentic As F*ck is a podcast all about storytelling. I have conversations with entrepreneurs, and creators, hear their stories, and how these stories shaped the person.

So excited to share in Episode 106 of the AAF podcast: Lucas O’Keefe's Journey From Elementary School Teacher To Content Creator. Don't miss this inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship and storytelling.

Lucas, a distinguished Adobe Global Ambassador and a retired elementary school teacher, masterfully blends his passion for creativity and community to inspire and engage an audience of over 350,000 online followers. As a full-time content creator, he draws on his diverse experiences to produce enriching and captivating content to inspire today's creative entrepreneurs.
