What would you do with 15 dollars, a laptop, and a spot in a women’s shelter? For some, this would be a survival story. For Brandi Leifso, it was the boardroom for a multi-million dollar beauty empire. 

Today, we have a really inspiring homegirl hangout with the founder of Evio Beauty on why she used a bootlegged version of Photoshop to stage a retail protest, how she survived 136 'No’s' from investors, and why she believes your greatest power lies in the 35,000 choices you'll make before tomorrow.

Her book, Fearless Choices: Make a Decision, Change Your Life, is out now and it’s the ultimate guide to moving away from 'hustle culture' and toward radical self-agency. Whether you’re feeling burnt out or just looking for the courage to make that next big pivot, I hope you stay a little while. This one’s for you.

Let’s hang out!
