Have you ever worked so hard at something only for it to end in a way you least expected?

My guest today knows that feeling all too well. Her story is about success on the highest level

and the courage it takes to start over.

Bobby Brown is a pioneer in the world of beauty who changed the industry forever with her

no makeup makeup look. After years of not taking no for an answer, she built a billion

dollar brand and became one of the most recognizable entrepreneurs in the world. After starting

her own Bobby Brown Cosmetics brand, selling to S. Day Lauder, and spending 22 years at the

home, she found herself at a crossroads. The company she created and the brand that bore her name

no longer felt like home. She had to face the reality that her

next chapter was quickly approaching, and yet what could have been the end became a new beginning.

At 60 years old, Bobby reinvented herself with Jones Road Beauty, proving it's never too late to

start over. Well, now she's chronicling her journey

in her first memoir, Still Bobby, a story of resilience, reinvention, and the strength to let go of

the past in order to create something new. In our conversation, Bobby opens up about why she

decided to write a memoir, the power of trusting your gut, and why she believes

the best chapters can come later in life. She's living proof that you can always begin again.

I'm Hoda Kotby, and's got to feel, well, how does it feel?

Well, it feels a little exposed.

You know, it feels good.

I mean, when I finished the book and handed it in, I was like, all right, I got this.

You know, there was a lot of rewrites and, you know, shout out to my husband that went over word by word making sure that it sounded like me.

Uh-huh.
