"I've been really clear about what I'm good at and what I'm not, and what I need to build around me. I do that with a vision that I have for myself - it's always very intentional the way I've pulled the pieces of my life together."
"This razor-sharp focus has been the key to her success: she's co-founded some of the most culturally relevant companies in the past decade, including the size-inclusive denim brand Good American with Khloé Kardashian, the $5bn shapewear brand Skims with Kim Kardashian."
"'Gatekeeping,' she tells me, 'is just not in my personality.'"
Emma Grede, a self-made entrepreneur, exemplifies intentionality in both her personal and professional life. Known for her direct approach, she has co-founded significant brands like Good American and Skims. Grede emphasizes the importance of clarity in her strengths and weaknesses, which has guided her career decisions. Her latest project, a book titled Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life, aims to share her insights and experiences, reflecting her belief in openness and collaboration rather than gatekeeping.
