“The world will try to beat you down - you can’t do it to yourself.” - Julie Wainwright, Founder The RealReal

What happens when your career becomes a headline - and not the kind you wanted - and you still choose to begin again?

In this episode, Kena sits down with Julie Wainwright, founder of The RealReal (the billion-dollar global luxury resale company that disrupted the fashion industry) and one of the few women to take a company public. Julie shares the real story behind the success: a childhood shaped by creativity and hardship, the public fallout of the dot-com crash, and what it took to rebuild her identity, confidence, and conviction - ultimately launching The RealReal at age 52.

This conversation is for the woman in midlife who feels “in between” chapters, whose confidence has dipped despite her accomplishments, and who’s ready to step into what’s next with more self-trust and courage.
