Kendra Scott reveals the shocking truth about 2020: while the world saw a billion-dollar brand thriving, she was sobbing herself to sleep every night, feeling like a complete fraud.

From dropping out of college to build a hat company that failed, to becoming a single mom starting over with $500 worth of jewelry supplies, Kendra's path to building one of America's most beloved jewelry brands was anything but glamorous.

She opens up about the moment she closed her first business in the pouring rain, saw a sign that said "Yes, We're Open," and realized failure was simply the bridge to her next breakthrough.

Whether you're struggling to start, scared to pivot, or exhausted from trying to be perfect for everyone else, this conversation will show you how vulnerability becomes your greatest competitive advantage and why your mess is actually your message.

Lewis reveals a truth most people run from: being broke isn't your failure, it's your education.

He shares his own season sleeping on his sister's couch with no income, no savings, and no clear path forward, feeling trapped and questioning his worth.

You'll learn why the lessons you gain when money is scarce teach you more about wealth than any amount in your bank account ever could.

Lewis walks you through five specific reasons why financial struggle forces critical growth around resourcefulness, self-worth, and your relationship with money itself. This isn't about romanticizing poverty or staying broke, it's about extracting wisdom from hard seasons so that when money does come, you're actually ready to keep it.
