Summary

Enjoy this video podcast on ⁠Spotify⁠ and ⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠! How is it that one person succeeds while another doesn’t? Is success the result of some kind of magic? Long-time fashion designer and founder of Nili Lotan Design Studio, Nili Lotan, seems to think so. Having spent 43 years in the fashion industry, 20 of those as a designer for well-known labels such as Nautica and Ralph Lauren, and 23 as the designer of her namesake brand, Nili Lotan believes this is truly her journey.  Life was not easy for Nili after she immigrated to NYC from Israel in 1980, but she persevered believing in herself and her abilities. Being the type to dive headfirst into things, she felt her success was inevitable since she had found her lane. Although the path was difficult and full of challenges, Nili worked hard and put in long hours. Nili is finally reaping the rewards of her unwavering persistence thanks to the beauty that surrounds her and her focus on living a life of freedom.
