I flew 20 hours from Puerto Rico to LA for a single event that I was invited to — one hosted by Emma Grede, founding partner of Skims, co-founder of Good American, and a shark on Shark Tank.

It ended up being one of the most transformative nights of my year. In this episode, I share how I got invited, my biggest takeaways, the advice Emma gave me personally, and the tactical lessons I’m bringing into my business and my 20s.I break down:
