Think beauty queens are the Antichrist of authenticity? Well, think again. At least that is so not the case with former Miss USA, Erin Brady. Erin Hatzikostas (co-host) meets with Erin Brady (Former Miss USA). Erin B shares her highly unlikely journey to becoming Miss USA, including the very prominent and real role that being her total authentic-self played in her success. 

While it was clear that Erin H's 8-year-old son wasn't all that impressed, you'll be incredibly inspired by her story, the lessons she shares, and how to 'just go for it'.

(What you'll, unfortunately, miss hearing/seeing is the huge smudge of mascara Erin H had on her face after laughing with Erin B for hours that night. She is one funny chick!)

Tweetable Comments:

"It's very easy to talk yourself out of something because you come up with a bazillion reasons why it's not the right time, the right fit. I feel like you just have to be able to dig deep and say, you know what, I'm going to go for it."

"So I watch a few YoutTube videos - thank God for YouTube - and long story short, I end up winning Miss Connecticut."

"They called me 'Beauty and Brains'" "Well, it could have been worse - 'Boobs and Beauty'" "Yes, you're right, it could have been worse."

"This is just something that happened to me, it's not a defining factor. IT was my ability to take my authentic Erin-isms and put them out into the world for a whole year."

"Beauty is abstract, it's different for everyone. For me, it's in the heart."

"I learn so much about myself through others."

"I've seen really cool things, I've lived a pretty crazy five years, but like everyone else I want to work hard, move, and succeed."

"It sucks to be them."

"You're a much friendlier ghost than Nicole."
