#342: In this week's episode of She’s So Lucky, we’re continuing our Lucky Girls Invest series with a guest who defines what it means to build power, wealth, and legacy — Emma Grede. This is one of those conversations. The kind that recalibrates how you think about money, ambition, and what it actually takes to create the life you say you want. In this episode, I sit down with Emma for an unfiltered, deeply tactical conversation on what it means to invest. Not just in the market, but in yourself, your relationships, and your long-term vision. From her early days growing up in East London to building and scaling multi-billion-dollar companies, Emma breaks down the real decisions, trade-offs, and mindset shifts that got her here. We talk about the difference between being in proximity to power and actually having it. Why so many people are distracted by visibility instead of focusing on what truly moves the needle. And how learning to think like an investor – before you ever write a check – can completely change the trajectory of your life. This episode is packed with gems and never-before-told stories from Emma, it’s the kind of insight you only get from someone who has actually done the work, built the businesses, and made the money. If you’re serious about building wealth, stepping into your ambition, and operating at a higher level… this one is required listening. This episode is for you if: You’re ready to move differently when it comes to money, power, and decision-making — and start thinking like an investor in your own lifeYou’ve been caught up in visibility, networking, or “being in the room” and are ready to refocus on what actually moves the needle.You’re learning how to prioritize yourself, your vision, and your goals without guilt or second-guessing.You want to shift from asking “how do I get in the room?” to becoming the person who owns the room.You’re navigating your relationship with money from scarcity, to stability, to building real wealth.You want to understand why profit matters more than perceptionYou’re building (or want to build) something of your own and need clarity on what actually makes a business… a business.You’re ready to invest in the relationships that matter and stop overextending yourself in one-sided dynamics.You need the reminder that ambition requires discomfort and that choosing yourself is the work.
