    In Episode 19 of The Authentic Journey, host Ben Beeri sits down with serial entrepreneur Brian Lee—co-founder of LegalZoom, ShoeDazzle, The Honest Company, Arena Club, BAM Ventures, Churchome Global and more. Brian shares how he went from selling Ziploc bags of Halloween candy to building household-name companies, why focus and saying no saved LegalZoom, and how he balances startups with being a husband, father, and man of faith. You’ll hear about: Growing up as a Korean immigrant in Orange County & discovering entrepreneurial DNA Leaving a prestigious law career to launch LegalZoom from his condo The near-bankruptcy moment when a “great idea” (ProxyLaw) almost killed the company Building ShoeDazzle with his wife and Kim Kardashian—and why fashion is brutal Co-founding The Honest Company with Jessica Alba & the trap of “growth at all costs” Why Arena Club is his favorite company yet and how collecting cards became a calling Investing through BAM Ventures and mentoring the next generation of founders Raising creative kids, supporting their passions, and not forcing “safe” careers How faith, prayer, and Churchome Global anchor his decisions and view of success The power of setting rewards, redefining success, and remembering that God’s plans are bigger than our own If you’re an entrepreneur (or aspiring one), a parent of a creative kid, or someone wrestling with the next leap in life, this conversation will hit home. 👉 If this episode resonates, follow the show, rate & review, and share it with a friend who needs courage to start.
