The biggest moat we see is a brand. Just look at Kylie Jenner; she sold 50% of her company for 600 million dollars due to her brand. That’s the power of branding
You have to believe in yourself and go for it. Who would have believed a body suit and a wrap skirt would have revolutionized the way women dressed?

My upbringing shaped my life by making me aware and grateful. Aware of my privileges and grateful enough to work really hard when I was given an opportunity…All of my experiences led me to where I am now—working to end hunger for millions of families as CEO of Feeding America.
Motivating others can be hard – it varies a lot from person to person. It’s important to try and understand what drives each individual. I ask myself, ‘what makes this person get up in the morning?’
My belief that anything and everything is possible. People are often discouraged when they receive a “no”. Obstacles motivate me to work harder to achieve my goals.
Most people opt out of striking out on their own because they fear failure, and the regret they imagine from that. For me, the fear I carry is the regret of not trying to do something, and wishing I had.
Musings are ideas that inspire imagination and action for a better world..
The only way to be flexible is to be fully prepared to deal with whatever comes your way. In other words, if you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready. I often think about life as a performance art space..
Making mistakes is part of any job (and in life, for that matter). One learns from mistakes and hopefully you don’t repeat the same mistake. The point is to think about what happened and why; admit it was an error and don’t try to cover the mistake up as it will just get bigger and cause more anxiety or problems
It’s as simple as disrupt or get disrupted. If you aren’t willing to change and evolve with the larger shifts taking place, you will get left in the dust. The key, no matter the industry, is the CEO, who has to own the transformation.
Find something to love – whether it be a person you are doing the work for, the cause/effort of your work, or your work in general. Finding this passion gives you the power to wake up and fill your heart to impact yourself and others. It truly provides that feeling of fulfillment and joy.
I believe that we all have a story and that given permission to tell it is the fist step in creating successful solutions to a balanced healthy life. I tell my story which allows people to tell their own and start the process of recovery...
The head understands numbers, facts, and analysis, but the head can’t tell you what you want because that’s in your heart.
Our biggest failure was probably our biggest success. When we signed our first lease on our first location, we were told we would have exterior signage. Sadly, that was not the case. Without exterior signage, it was incredibly hard for customers to find us…literally, riders would call us outside 72nd street asking where we were located.
As one who was self-conscious of his own skin as a teenager, I love how the beauty industry can help men and women make themselves look and feel better, and ultimately, help build their confidence.
I once had someone tell me that if you knew what it took to build a company, you’d never start.
Greatest success was the initial opening of The Kitchen in Boulder. After doing software, everyone thought I was crazy to open a restaurant. Proving that I could do it was one my proudest life achievements.
You have to be in the forefront of technology to really reach the buyers and excite your sellers to list with your firm. Some of the trends that I am seeing are creating new technology experiences.
It became clear to me that most people don’t have access to good financial advice and it was time to do something about it. We’re seeking to deliver on what we think is going to be total financial nirvana
“Be nice to all people. It took me 30 years to realize the importance of this and how helpful it is in life.
When we started it was all about calorie counts, low carb and low fat. Now it’s about local, organic and non-gmo. We feel the latter is a lasting trend and we are excited that we have been able to adjust our supply chain.
My goal in life is to spread the message that we all have the power to leave this world better than we found it. It is our responsibility to use the talents we’re given to do good.
I am continually traveling for inspiration. I am involved with every aspect of the restaurant from concept to design, menu development and staff training.
There is a New York City “gritty kindness” and inherent hustle that is hard to replicate.
The influx of social platforms present great opportunities for emerging musicians to be discovered, but on the flip side, it can also be challenging to get your voice heard in a crowded space. Up and coming musicians need to be strategic to get their name out there..
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. When you start your own company you have to get used to learning how to do things that you don’t know how to do.
Learn how to self-evaluate your efforts in as much of an impartial way as possible. The problem most entrepreneurs have is they think everything they come up with is brilliant, and they hang on too long to bad ideas.
Successful business ideas often come from simple observation of human behavior. Limited Edition footwear at Nike came from someone pulling up beside me in my used black Porsche 924 in a shiny new yellow Sebring Edition 924 Porsche and me wondering if the concept of Limited Edition would work in athletic footwear. It worked.
Every work day is about winning, getting ahead and continuing to adapt because if you sit still, someone is going to eat your lunch. Be ferocious about optimizing each day and each meeting so you can accomplish your goals and keep moving forward.
You can’t do anything alone, so find partners. At the same time, don’t wait for others to start. Get out there and lead.
The things that are out of our control lead to fear and frustration — If you focus on the things you can control, you empower yourself to achieve balance and make smarter choices.
It took me nearly thirty years to learn how to love myself; after realizing that goal, I decided to create an integrative, unbiased space that introduces…
I’ve always been passionate about entrepreneurship and business. What’s amazing is that given the contribution of small businesses to our economy, the odds are continually stacked against us. The number one problem small businesses face is access to capital — businesses need money to make money…
Through movement, mindful eating, and meditation, my mission is to guide you to a place of loving and fully accepting yourself as you are.
I’m the CEO, but I’m also the cleaning person. We all wear a lot of hats in this startup phase and we all share in the successes.
I started posting dance videos on YouTube which turned into making personality-forward videos to help give people a break from their daily stresses.
