Welcome to The Jasmine Star Show where today I just feel particularly honored and blessed because for the first time ever on the show, I'm going to be sitting with a college alum, a phenomenal entrepreneur, somebody who has blown my mind again and again with her multiple iterations.

And dare I say it, I'm going to start here.

What we have seen so much of this person do is climb and ascend and

overcome. And what we don't often hear too much is the path that took her to every ascension. Because

where there is every ascension, there's also the climb up. And where are you climbing up from a

valley that a lot of entrepreneurs don't talk about. And all of the research that I did in

preparation of this conversation, I'm really excited because I have hardly ever heard somebody talk

so much about the emotional component of being a wildly successful entrepreneur. I can't wait

for her to blow your mind. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Jasmine Star Show and Cassie Ho.

Hi. I'm so happy you're here.

Okay.

I am too.

I thought I was going to start in a different place.

But right before we had turned on the cameras, you're like, oh, I was at YouTube HQ. And I said, okay, no, no, no. Let's just start there. Because we're going to get into your origin story. We're going to get into all of that. But I wanted just Cassie to show up as Cassie.

So you're at YouTube HQ and what was going on.

It was YouTube's 20th birthday party. that. But I want to just Cassie to show up as Cassie. So you're at YouTube HQ and what was going on.

It was YouTube's 20th birthday party. And so they invited some OG YouTubers to come over, be on a panel with Neil Mohan, the CEO of YouTube. And we talked about our journeys. And, you know, it was what I was trying to get to was I am always so critical of myself,

especially in speaking engagements and where I was going before you turned on the camera,

was that you are so good on stage. Like the way you speak is so succinct, concise,

and you like wrap it all up in a nice little bow with, like, power punch

at the end. I, like, you are such the inspiration. Well, okay, and then so what we should have said, okay, this goes back a little bit all over the place, is, well, and this is what feels good. It feels like a real conversation and less of an interview. So Cassie and I met in person. We'd gone to the same school. Shout out to Whittier College. Yeah. We're the fiercest poets.

And so we met last year Cassie and I met in person. We'd gone to the same school. Shout out to Whittier College.
