Hearing 'No' Like An Immigrant


Listen Later

How do you go from fleeing your home country to building a Luxury Fashion Empire? Dr. Neri Karra did just that—without the fluff, the nonsense, or selling out. In this episode of Immigrantly, I sit down with Neri to talk about how she built a global brand, teaches at Oxford, and still finds time to write about immigrant entrepreneurship experiences in her book "Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs."

We’re unpacking

  •  The wild journey from refugee camp to fashion powerhouse
  • Why hearing “No” a thousand times makes you sharper
  • The truth about “sustainable” fashion (and why she’s not buying it)
  • How ambition and kindness can work together

  • This one’s got wisdom, wit, and just the right amount of Oprah!
