Ever wondered what success actually means? How do you get it? And how do you keep it? We all want it, yet sometimes it feels only some of us get to have it. Theresa Lambert and Blair Kaplan Venables are two badass entrepreneurs, bestselling authors, coaches and biz mentors, who’ve had success, felt success, questioned our own success and reclaimed it. Let’s be real for a hot minute, 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride, and many people started to wonder if they'll lose the things that “made” them successful. So we got curious, raw and real about what success is truly about. Can you put it in a box? how can you get it? can people take it away or are you the one with the power? Does it mean the same to all of us, or are we the ones that create it? From PGA Golf Pro’s to Doctors, CEOs, Entrepreneurs and Spiritual Mentors, we got together to meet with successful people around the globe to dissect success through vibrant conversations and interviews.
