Summary

When I started this podcast, I wrote a list of my dream guests. It was almost like a podcast vision board. And today’s guest, was the first name I wrote down. Emma Grede is the Co-founder of Good American, founding partner of SKIMS, and Chairwoman of the Fifteen Percent Pledge.

Emma has built some of the world’s most talked about brands, with the world’s most talked about people, and she’s not just a behind-the-scenes operator, if you’ve ever heard her speak before, you’ll know she’s bold with her goals, vocal on her values, and unapologetically ambitious.

This episode is not just for entrepreneurs, it’s for anyone who wants to map out a path for their success.

RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed. As usual, sponsorships do not change my opinions nor my honesty, but I will always disclaim to make sure motives are clear 😊
