About

Who is Britt Raybould?

I’m fascinated by words, especially bold words, words that dare challenge the status quo and demand that you pay attention. For over eight years, I immersed myself in putting words together for other people. I finally decided it was time I wrote words that mattered to me and explored the bold ideas that are brought to life by bold words.

What is Bold Words?

We’ve stopped paying attention to the words we use. Words have power, and when we don’ t respect and try to understand that power, we can end up “hoist on our own petards.” Through Bold Words, I hope to find other people who wonder about the same things I do and share their perspectives. I also want my ideas challenged. I’m excited to see what happens. Sometimes, I wonder if what I’m writing about matters to anyone else but me. Ultimately, I come back to the fact that I’ve had a love affair with words since I picked up a book over 25 years ago. I decided it was time to do something about it.

Beyond the Blog
I help small businesses find ways to get out of the yellow pages and into conversations, often by blending traditional media with new media. I’m also a contributor at the Behavior Gap, a blog created by Carl Richards of Clearwater Wealth that focuses on how to be smarter about investing and financial planning. Why such a different topic? Because the same issues come up—a lack of respect for language, an almost religious adherence to status quo, and an unwillingness to change behavior for the better. Given what’s going on in economic markets, I find the subject, and the ongoing nuances, even more interesting.
