About this listen

Are you asking for what you want? From executive producers Jane Lynch and Mari Weiss, and narrated by the author, Paul Quinn, “THE BIG ASK: Unlock the Possibilities in Your Work, Life & Dreams with Courageous Requests" delivers research-based “asking” tools and inspiring true stories to help you ask more effectively for what you want—anywhere. Featuring a show-stopping ensemble of 23 voice actors, you’ll hear more than 75 unforgettable "big ask" stories from entrepreneurs, celebrities, CEOs, job seekers, couples, adventurers, and more. These are people from all walks of life who succeeded because they asked for what they wanted—even when what they wanted had seemed hopelessly out of reach.

You'll also hear stories read by some of the actual storytellers, including multiple-Emmy-Award-winner Jane Lynch, Susan Bennett (the original voice of "Siri"), and Moth StorySLAM storytelling champion Errol McLendon. THE BIG ASK is also a personal guide. It asks questions only you can answer; questions that will challenge and inspire you to confidently ask for anything—whether it's help, support, opportunities, buy-in, exceptions, clarity, feedback, connection, or truth.
