# Nice Talk with Nikki Ogunnaike Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201.md RSS feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/FUFET8639272685 Official site: https://art19.com/shows/nice-talk Author: Marie Claire Episodes: 81 ## Resource Welcome to Nice Talk, hosted by Marie Claire Editor in Chief Nikki Ogunnaike. Each week, Nikki will sit down with fascinating women—entertainers, entrepreneurs, creators, athletes, and changemakers—to discuss money, power, and style. “Well-behaved” women have long been discouraged from speaking on these topics—style should be effortless, and conversations about money or power aren’t “proper,” “ladylike,” or “nice.” But Nikki’s definition of a Nice Talk is one where all parties walk away feeling empowered. Nikki’s guests are getting candid about how they navigated their come-ups, what makes them feel both powerful and powerless, and of course, how they use personal style to communicate with the world. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/nice-talk-with-nikki-ogunnaike-6918201.md ## Episodes -
