    Emma Grede on Her Dream Coming True: Sitting Down With Oprah

    This one is a little different. For Emma, sitting down with Oprah Winfrey wasn’t just another interview — it was a full circle moment. A conversation years in the making with someone who helped shape how she thinks about success, ambition, and what’s possible. In this special episode, Emma shares her conversation from The Oprah Podcast — one of the most honest conversations she’s had about her debut book Start With Yourself and the journey behind it. Together, they go beyond the highlight reel and get into: The mindset shift that changed Emma’s life Radical self-accountability and what it really looks like in practice The tension between ambition, motherhood, and guilt Why building from purpose — not ego — changes everything How to separate truth from emotion in business and decision-making And the question that can redefine how you move through your life and career Emma also opens up about the mistakes that shaped her, overcoming comparison, and why she believes success starts from within — not from external validation. It’s a conversation that feels as grounding as it is powerful. And if you know Emma, you know — this moment meant everything.

    On Negativity, Ambition, and Building a Serious Business (Tory Burch)

    Tory Burch started her company in 2004 with a single store on Elizabeth Street in New York City, a friends and family round of funding, and a belief that purpose and business belong in the same sentence. Twenty two years later, she has 400 stores in 70 countries. And she still hasn't had lunch. In this conversation, Tory sits down with Emma to talk about what it really took to build one of the most recognizable names in American fashion — navigating criticism, surviving a lawsuit that threatened everything she'd built, and rediscovering the creative spirit that reinvigorated the brand. Tory shares: Why ambition is still a complicated word for women  and why she refuses to shy away from it How she maintained ownership and control of her company through a very public divorce and lawsuit What she learned about scaling a brand without losing its identity How stepping back from the CEO role unlocked her most creative chapter yet What would you build if you stopped letting other people define your ambition?

    How to Quiet the Voice That’s Holding You Back

    Emma sits down with Tara Mohr, author of the bestselling ‘Playing Big’, for a conversation that started as an interview and turned into something much more personal. Tara has spent over a decade helping women understand why they hold themselves back — not from the outside, but from within.  Together Emma and Tara get into why your self-doubt gets loudest right when something actually matters, the difference between your inner critic and realistic thinking, why chasing confidence is the wrong goal, and the two types of fear — one keeping you stuck, one telling you you're exactly where you need to be. Then Tara introduces Emma to her  inner mentor and walks her through the exercise live, on camera.  In this episode you’ll learn:  What "playing small" really looks like, even when life looks big on the outside How to identify your inner critic and what to do about it How to tell the two types of fear apart  The guilt trap and how to know when guilt is actually yours How to stop outsourcing your decisions and become the authority in your own life The inner mentor exercise What's the voice in your head telling you right now  and is it actually true?

    Bobbi Brown on Selling Your Name, Getting Fired, and Starting Over

    What does it mean to build something so successful that it outgrows you, and then start again from nothing with your name legally off the table? Bobbi Brown built one of the most iconic beauty companies in the world. She was 37 when she sold it, stayed for 22 years, then eventually pushed out of the business that carried her name. She waited out a 25-year non-compete, and on the day the clock ran out, she launched Jones Road—at 63, with six products, no outside investors, and a completely different playbook.  Bobbi shares: What it really costs to sell your name (and whether she’d do it again) Why getting fired from the brand she built was the best thing that ever happened to her The difference between building something massive and building something that’s yours The social media strategy behind Jones Road and why it works The leadership lesson she’s still learning at 68 and what confidence means after decades of trying to be someone she’s not Have you ever built something—a business, a career, an identity—and had to walk away from it? What did starting over teach you? Tell us in the comments.

    Kimora Lee They Called Me a B*tch. I Built an Empire Anyway

    Emma sits down with Kimora Lee –  fashion icon, entrepreneur, and founder — to talk about building one of the most influential brands in fashion and the lessons she learned about power, ownership, and knowing her worth. Kimora helped build Baby Phat into a cultural phenomenon, but behind the success were hard truths about being in rooms, contributing at the highest level, and still not getting what she was owed.  Over time, she learned how to navigate deals, advocate for herself, and stop accepting less than she deserved. Now she has Baby Phat back and this time, it's hers. Kimora shares:  Why being in the room didn't always mean having power The hard lessons she learned about money, deals and ownership  What she wishes she'd known before she signed anything How she learned to stop settling and start advocating for herself Why getting Baby Phat back means more now than it did the first time.

    Her Next Money Move: Cardi B is Tired of Making Everyone Else Rich

    Emma sits down with Cardi B, global superstar, entrepreneur, and now founder, to talk about what actually changed once she understood where her power sits. Cardi didn’t come into this industry with a co-sign. She came in figuring it out in real time, investing her own money, navigating bad deals, and slowly realizing she’d been making everyone else rich before herself. Now, as a two-time Grammy winner and a mother of four, she’s launching Grow-Good, her own haircare brand, and stepping into a new level of ownership. Cardi shares: Why getting burned early became her best business education What she looks for in partners now, and what she won’t tolerate How she shifted from quick money to ownership and equity Why this moment feels urgent, and what she’s building toward How she’s balancing motherhood, relationships, and ambition Where do you need to stop settling and start taking control?

    From a Basement to a Billion Dollar Brand: The Greatest Founder Story You Never Heard

    Monique Rodriguez built Mielle Organics from her basement into a billion-dollar brand and did it without a blueprint. In this episode of Aspire, Monique shares the real story behind building one of the fastest-growing beauty brands in the world–from bootstrapping with her husband’s paycheck to risking their home, navigating criticism, and ultimately selling to Procter & Gamble while remaining CEO.  But this isn't just a business story. It started with loss, a leap of faith, and a decision to bet on herself before she felt ready. This is a conversation about what it really takes to build something meaningful… and what happens when you finally reach the other side. In this episode, Monique shares: Why you don’t need to feel ready before making a life-changing decision How personal adversity can reshape your ambition and clarity What founders get wrong about scaling too early How to know when it’s time to bring in experienced operators Why building with the end in mind changes how you run your company The real risks founders take behind the scenes How to navigate criticism as your company grows What it actually means to lead after a major acquisition How to protect your vision while growing at scale Why success doesn’t always eliminate the feeling of having something to prove  Monique Rodriguez’s story is proof that you don’t have to be ready to start, you just have to be willing.
