“Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.”
Ariana Huffington, born Stassinopoulo, is a Greek-American author, syndicated columnist, and businesswoman. Huffington is the cofounder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. Huffington used to be married to former Republican congressman Michael Huffington, and she used to be a conservative commentator. In the mid 90’s, however, she rebranded herself as a liberal and went on to build a fairly impressive media empire. When AOL acquired The Huffington Post, she became editor-in-chief of AOL properties such as Patch Media, as well. She has been routinely regarded as one of the most influential women in media and politics.
