Joanna Gaines of Magnolia and the hit show “Fixer Upper” is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in America today. She went from working for 10 years in her father’s tire shop after college to becoming one of the most influential women in design, media, and food. 

Joanna was the keynote speaker at Cherry Bombe’s annual Jubilee conference in Manhattan earlier this year. She joined host Kerry Diamond after returning from a big family trip to Seoul, where her mother is from. Joanna and Kerry talked about Joanna’s journey as an entrepreneur and a leader, why her internship at CBS in New York didn’t quite work out, her advice for young adults regarding college (her answer might surprise you!), what’s left on her bucket list, and why it’s important to have a vision of what you’re working toward.
