At Colorado’s Power Party honoring those making positive changes in the LGBT community, I was completely inspired by her message.  She was the co-host of the event and highlighted the significant progress we have made as a community, honoring some of the movers and shakers in this great state in front of about three hundred people.

Eden Lane is a pioneer for those who want to live authentically and rise to the top of their fields, serving as a shining example.  When she said yes to an interview for Gay Ambition Podcast, I could not wait to get started.

We scheduled a lunchtime interview at a new co-working space called Shift, just outside of downtown Denver.  Shortly after my Uber driver dropped me off, Eden arrived from her taping at a studio in Westminster.  We got acquainted in our small private conference room and recorded our interview.

Listen to our conversation to find out:

• 
  
• The inside scoop about the Power Party behind the scenes
  
• What it means to Eden to be the first mainstream transgender television journalist
  
• Advice for those who aspire to be a journalist or move to the next level in their careers
  
• The power of the individual has to make their voice heard
  
• Extremely successful productions not on cable television – i.e. House of Cards, Orange is the New Black
  
• Notable projects she has worked on including interview with George Hamilton (starts at 6:20)
