You know that feeling when everything looks so successful from the outside, but behind the

scenes you're just trying to keep it together? Well, Rees Witherspoon knows that feeling too.

That's when she decided to bet on herself, to pivot,

to take control and start something totally new. Reese built a company, sold it for nearly a billion

dollars and still she's just getting started. And if you've ever worried about money, security

or about what's next, Reese has got the playbook. This week on Aspire,

Reese talks about how to know when it's time for a change

and how to build something that's truly yours.

I'm really excited to speak to you today for so many reasons,

but the first one is that,

you know, we all watched you and your career and you are like America's sweetheart.

But you have done such a transition and such a pivot.

And so, but this particular audience, I'm excited to talk to you about, I don't know

whether we want to call it your second chapter, third chapter, what it is, but Reese, the businesswoman, because you have been wildly successful.

And I guess my first question to you is whether or not you pivoted out of necessity or ambition.

I think both.

I think I saw white space.

And I also was driven by a passion for storytelling. And I also had a little girl that I really saw this sudden dearth of storytelling for women with the complexity that really represented all women. And I just wasn't seeing Hollywood step up and develop those stories.

So I decided to do it myself.

Clearly.

And you really did do it.

So will you just talk a little bit for people that don't know about the genesis of Hello Sunshine?
