Is there ever a moment where you were like, this isn't going to work? I'm totally going to fail and we're going to lose everything.

Over and over and over. Kelly Leffler is an American businesswoman, entrepreneur, and former U.S.

Senator currently serving as the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

But she is also a billionaire, has run billion-dollar businesses.

The cool part, she comes from a place just like probably many of you.

I grew up in a house that had no upstairs heating, so we'd wake up in the morning in the winter,

and there would be frost inside the windows. I saw my parents working together on our farm

every single day, 20-hour days planning crops. I worked in our cattle lot. I showed cattle in 4-H. And having that

experience working in small businesses, that gave me such a strong, well-rounded experience.

I think back to when our company was a startup. I mean, today it's a $100 billion,

a Fortune 500 company. I didn't need a birthday dinner i didn't need the vacation these were the things

that built the trajectory for success you've been successful in wmBA been successful in a senate

race you're the administrator of the spma you've also run these huge public companies how do you keep

winning very seldom do we get to hear from an actual billionaire

multiple times over who's run a hundred billion dollar company. How do we steal her homework? How do we

learn lessons from somebody who has won so many times and so many businesses? And in the same

conversation, she actually is one of the most

powerful women of all small business in the U.S. right now as the administrator of the SBA,

the small business administration. So not only does she share lessons about what it takes to build

a big, huge company, but she also shares lessons about how do you find money hidden in plain

sight in the government from the SBA for you?

And what is the future going to hold for small business?
