Hey Reader,

You’ve been told “no.”

Maybe once. Maybe a hundred times.

And somewhere along the way, you started to believe those no’s meant you weren’t enough.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with my friend Jamie Kern Lima—founder of IT Cosmetics and the first female CEO in L’Oréal’s 100-year history—to talk about how she turned rejection into fuel.

Jamie went from waitressing at Denny’s to building a billion-dollar company.

But the biggest transformation wasn’t external—it was how she talked to herself.

Hey Reader, We’ve all been there — that moment before a tough conversation when your heart’s pounding and you’re thinking, “How do I even start this?” Here’s the truth: Most difficult conversations don’t go badly because of what we say.
