In this episode of Boss Files, I believe you should hire on heart, not just resume.

Jewelry designer, CEO, and philanthropist, Hendra Scott.

She started her business with just $500, stringing beads together in a spare bedroom in her home with a newborn son.

Today, she's grown it into a billion-dollar business.

Oh, so happy.

Let's start with a brand and how you built it and how you got here.
