Sara Blakely heard the word "no" for seven years. She failed the LSAT twice and sold fax machines door to door before she built Spanx into a billion-dollar company. The difference wasn't talent or luck. It was a question her father asked at the dinner table every week, and one decision she made about what failure meant. In this episode, Alan unpacks how to catch, challenge, and change the story that's keeping you stuck.

Despite his high intelligence, George Barrios nearly flunked out of both high school and college, drifting without discipline or direction. Realizing talent alone wouldn't build the future he wanted, he cleaned up his act, became obsessive about preparation, and built a reputation for solving hard problems others avoided. That approach helped him rise through HBO and Time Warner before transforming WWE into a global media powerhouse. In this episode, George joins Ilana to share the habits that accelerated his career, the tough leadership decisions behind WWE's growth, and the mindset shifts that helped him reinvent himself under pressure. George Barrios is the former Co-President and CFO of WWE, where he helped transform the company into a global entertainment business.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Monique Rodriguez, the founder and CEO of Mielle Organics, an all natural hair care and beauty brand. Monique created Mielle Organics' first product in her kitchen. Now, the brand has products in over 85 countries – and still pursues the same vision it did from when it operated out of Monique's kitchen, with the same values.Monique worked as a registered nurse for almost a decade. She pursued nursing initially to please her mother and secure a financially stable career. As a wife and mother of two girls, it was a big risk to leave her stable career path to pursue her passion. Yet she always had a love of beauty and haircare, and once she saw the engagement of her online community with the products she was creating in the kitchen, she decided to bet on herself and launch her own product, and that's when Mielle Organics was born.In 2021, Monique became the first Black woman to raise a non-controlling nine-figure investment, over $100M, in a deal with Berkshire Partners. In 2023, Monique made history again when Mielle Organics was acquired by Procter & Gamble in an unprecedented acquisition, the largest exit ever for a Black Female beauty founder, in which she will continue to serve as CEO of the company. As part of her deal with P&G, she also established Mielle Cares, the non-profit arm of her company, with a $10M donation that was matched by P&G. In this week's episode we discuss the many business ventures Monique tried that didn't work out, why she decided to pursue her nursing career and the biggest skills she learned there that have propelled her when starting her own business. We also chat about her process of building a passionate community through social media, how that helped her create product market fit for her product, and the steps she took to find a chemist to work on her first batch that ended up selling out. Monique also ends on sharing insights on manifesting success, the exact steps she took to bring her ideas to life, her advice on navigating challenging situations both personally and professionally, and so much more.

From answering a classified ad to helping build one of the most recognizable personal development brands in the world… In this episode of Wake Up! with Joni, I sit down with visionary entrepreneur and bestselling author Patty Aubery. Patty began her career as a secretary for Jack Canfield and went on to become President of Chicken Soup for the Soul, helping grow it into a global phenomenon with hundreds of titles and hundreds of millions of books sold. But Patty's story isn't just about business success. It's about visibility, courage, asking for what you want, and learning to stop hiding your gifts. In this candid conversation we explore: How a $25,000 goal changed the trajectory of Patty's life The behind-the-scenes story of building the Chicken Soup empire Why so many women stay invisible—even after massive success The power of asking for help and surrounding yourself with truth tellers How habits and self-talk quietly shape the life we live Why success is measured in experiences, relationships, and contribution—not just money Patty also shares the promise she made to her mother on her deathbed—to stop hiding and show up fully—and how that moment reshaped the work she does today. If you've ever wondered whether you're playing too small, or if it's too late to step into your voice, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your next chapter can begin right now.

Success isn't built by playing it safe or trying to do everything at once.

When you solve one real problem brilliantly, it can unlock five more and add an entire category. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Shawn Nelson, Founder and CEO of LoveSac, who shares how a homemade “not-beanbag” snowballed into a NASDAQ-listed company with 300+ locations, a logistics moat, and the best-selling sectional platform in the U.S. He breaks down the invention mindset, LoveSac's sustainability-by-design philosophy, and why products must be designed for life to win long term. Key Takeaways: → Why logistics matter and how they can be used as your hidden superpower.  → Building a product that can evolve allows it to stay relevant for decades. → Why sustainability and durability beat planned obsolescence.  → Why building your own channel proves demand for your product.  → If products last, growth must come from new rooms, categories, and features. Shawn Nelson is the founder and CEO of LoveSac, Inc. He graduated from the University of Utah and founded LoveSac in 1998, initially creating his first “not-bean bag” from shredded foam camp mattresses. Nelson quickly gained traction, securing an order for 12,000 Lovesacs from Limited Too, and later opening his first retail location in 2001. In 2003, he received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Nelson also appeared on Richard Branson's The Rebel Billionaire in 2005, winning a $1 million investment, and spent three months as acting president of Virgin companies. Shawn expanded LoveSac's product line to include the world's only changeable sectional couch. He earned his master's degree in strategic design and management from Parsons in 2015, where he also became a part-time instructor. That same year, he appeared on Make Me a Millionaire Inventor and delivered the keynote at the 40 Under 40 awards for Fairfield County, Connecticut. In 2018, he took LoveSac public, with shares debuting on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “LOVE.” Connect With Shawn: Website: https://www.lovesac.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawnoflovesac X: https://x.com/shawnoflovesac LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawndnelson/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept headlines buzzing with a series of major career, business, and personal milestones over the past several days, each potentially pivotal for his long-term narrative. The biggest headline came from the business world as Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, officially became a billionaire after elf Beauty agreed to acquire her skincare brand Rhode for a staggering one billion dollars. According to AOL Entertainment, Justin took to Instagram to celebrate Hailey, posting heartfelt photos of the two embracing and sharing a congratulatory message. The news was amplified by Hailey's own Vogue cover, where she dismissed persistent rumors about marriage troubles, emphasizing how strong and real their relationship is behind closed doors. This follows last weekend's buzzworthy moment when Justin surprised everyone with an unannounced performance alongside SZA at Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour in LA. Hailey, ever the supportive spouse, shared multiple Instagram clips of Justin serenading on stage and affectionately kissing SZA's hand, calling the artists her two favorites.On the business side, there's also been chatter about Justin's newest venture, the streetwear label SKYLRK, launched in July. India Today covered how Hailey has played an active role in design, with Justin maintaining full creative control and working alongside longtime collaborator Neima Khaila. Hailey, in a recent GQ interview, called the process “incredible and amazing,” noting that creative synergy is at the heart of their work—and their marriage. She also shared glimpses of their routine balancing family life with new parenthood, as the Biebers remain fiercely protective of their fifteen-month-old son Jack while navigating the realities of the public eye.Musically, Bieber made waves on November 13 with a livestream performance of “Purpose” featuring We The Band, as reported by numerous fan accounts and YouTube clips. While headlines haven't pointed to any brand-new releases, his continued presence onstage and participation in buzzy music nights—like the recent Justin Bieber Night in New York—show his enduring draw. There's also significant buzz ahead of a tribute concert to his catalog slated for November 22 in LA, reinforcing his impact on pop culture.On social, Justin has been trending for his show of support for Hailey, with followers praising his heartfelt messages for her business triumph. As for rumors, speculation about new music remains high but unconfirmed; none of the major outlets have reported definitive news on a Bieber album drop or tour plans. All told, the past week has been a blend of billion-dollar deals, intimate stage moments, and a united power couple publicly at ease with balancing fame, fashion, family, and future plans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber surged back to headline status this week with confirmation that he will lead the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival—the first time he has anchored the iconic festival solo and, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard, the result of a record-breaking deal that reportedly nets Bieber over $10 million, the highest payday in Coachella history. Notably, he personally negotiated the terms with promoter Goldenvoice, bypassing agents and taking direct control of his touring business. Industry insiders described the move as groundbreaking and emblematic of Bieber's drive for creative and business autonomy. Bieber made waves on social media with a black-and-white visualizer for his new track Speed Demon, filmed on the Coachella grounds, fueling enormous fan anticipation. His post captioned “see u in April” lit up X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with countless fans counting down to his major comeback after a four-year hiatus driven by past health issues and tour cancellations. His new album, Swag II, released September 5, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and serves as the foundation for his renewed presence; paired with last year's Swag I, the two make up a blockbuster 44-track rollout that Def Jam and Republic Collective executives credited Bieber as leading with “100 percent creative freedom.” Industry debates continue about whether Swag II is a standalone album or part of an extended release—a testament to Bieber's ongoing evolution and ownership of his work. On the celebrity front, Bieber found himself in the whirlwind of pop culture chatter after his ex Selena Gomez married music producer Benny Blanco in California. While Gomez walked down the aisle, Bieber appeared on social media sporting his new basketball apparel brand, Skyler, and playing in a pickup game. Fan comments swirled, oscillating between sentimental reminders of Gomez's wedding and praise for Bieber's focus on his business and artistic pursuits.Meanwhile, his household profile received an intriguing shift as wife Hailey Bieber's beauty brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, making headlines in The Hollywood Reporter and AOL. While the exact ownership stake has not been disclosed publicly, estimates place Hailey's post-sale net worth at $300 million, now eclipsing Justin's reported $200 million. Hailey will remain brand chief creative officer, aiming to push Rhode's innovation even further.Justin Bieber's recent activities—masterminding his own touring deals, unleashing chart-topping new music, and living under a household of growing entrepreneurial clout—underscore what appears to be a pivotal period of reinvention. Both his business acumen and creative independence have become storylines of long-term significance, drawing industry attention, fan excitement, and a new wave of headlines sure to be replayed with greater resonance as the countdown to Coachella continues.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This week on Screw It Just Do It, I sit down with one of the most recognisable names in ethical entrepreneurship – Rowena Bird, co-founder of Lush.From humble beginnings to running a cosmetics empire in 53 countries, Rowena's journey is as raw and real as the ingredients in her products. But it wasn't always bath bombs and billion-pound valuations. Before Lush came the painful collapse of their first business, Cosmetics to Go. They lost everything. And it was in the ashes of that failure that the true “screw it, just do it” moment was born.We talk about the value of growing organically, keeping control of your company, resisting investor temptation, and why they never compromised on ethics, even if it meant growing slower. If you've ever wondered how to scale a business with integrity, or what it takes to bounce back from losing it all - this episode is essential listening.Key Takeaways:How Lush was born from the ashes of a failed businessWhy Rowena used her credit card to relaunch instead of chasing investorsThe secrets behind building an iconic brand without compromising on ethicsWhat "growth with control" really looks like in practiceWhy creating a business people want to be part of is more important than rapid scalingHow Lush gave over £100 million to grassroots charities while scaling globally

When Ghost co-founders Dan Lourenco and Ryan Hughes launched their fitness and lifestyle brand in 2016, they weren't chasing headlines or quick exits. They were trying to build a company that felt like a movement.  From the outset, Ghost resonated with a younger, influencer-savvy audience drawn to its bold, candy- and snack-inspired fitness supplements – flavors like Warhead and Sour Patch Kids brought a nostalgic twist to recovery powders and wellness products. Building on this momentum, the brand expanded into energy and hydration beverages, achieving broad distribution across major U.S. and international retailers while cultivating a strong direct-to-consumer presence. In a significant endorsement of its growth and potential, Keurig Dr Pepper acquired a 60% stake in the company for $990 million in October, with plans to purchase the remaining 40% by 2028. So how did a company that deliberately avoided a traditional marketing playbook become a household name in sports nutrition and energy? In a candid conversation, Dan pulls back the curtain on Ghost's rise — from behind-the-scenes YouTube videos to blockbuster licensing deals and national shelf space. He explains why authenticity remains the brand's North Star — and why, for Ghost, that goes beyond simply being founder-led. Dan also reflects on the personal journey behind the business: how stepping away from social media helped him regain focus, and what scaling a brand taught him about leadership, growth, and staying grounded. Show notes: 0:25: Dan Lourenco, Co-Founder & CEO, Ghost – Dan talks about Ghost's mission to become a “100-year brand” built on authenticity, innovation, and community, and how, despite selling a majority stake to Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), Ghost has retained its founder-led identity. He also discusses why the brand's growth has been rooted in transparency rather than traditional marketing, how differentiation lies in purposeful innovation, and why the company approaches licensing more selectively than in the past. Dan explains how Ghost's expansion into functional beverages was driven by organic customer behavior, and why he emphasizes staying nimble, preserving brand values, and maintaining a startup mindset. He also reflects on the challenges of founder wellness, learning to balance personal fulfillment with leadership, stepping back from personal social media and how he advises entrepreneurs to focus on what truly matters. Brands in this episode: Ghost, Warheads, Sour Patch Kids, Skittles, Cinnabon

“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It's certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto   Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola's Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM's footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola's massive influence and advertising dollars.

SUPREME as the brand has become synonymous with the crisp cut lines of its Redbox logo. A classic that's what supreme fans call it supreme. It's a simple yet pertinent design that is still a favorite among supreme's devoted audience. Fans who have their own name hyped beasts supreme heads for the younger 10 to 15-year-olds. How did supreme become the king of underground fashion? It's all thanks to the unorthodox thinking of its founder James Jebia.Experience Dan Lok Live (In Person Or Virtual) And Discover The Secrets To Scaling Your BusinessJoin Us ► https://danlok.com/events
