For many of us, fear isn’t just a passing emotion—it’s an invisible force that keeps us from taking risks and stepping into our full potential. But what if confronting our fears could motivate and propel us? Today, we’re exploring how to reframe fear as a tool for growth, resilience, and success.

I’m beyond thrilled to share my conversation with Rebecca Minkoff. Rebecca is a world-renowned fashion designer, entrepreneur, and author of Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success. Her entrepreneurial journey is nothing short of inspiring. From a slow start, as she struggled to get her clothing brand off the ground, she eventually built a $100M+ fashion empire, only to face massive setbacks during the pandemic that forced her to pivot and rebuild.

In this episode, Rebecca shares her unfiltered truth—the wins, the failures, and the mindset shifts that helped her navigate uncertainty and emerge stronger. You’ll hear how she turned fear into fuel, why taking risks is essential to success, and the power of reinvention when faced with obstacles.
