Hi all! So excited to publish episode 1 for you! I was in a panic of the first person to interview about success after shame; & I thought who else than my husband Filipp.   Fil has helped me overcome so many personal hurdles & truly is an Angel here on this earth and the epitome of growing after struggle to shine. Filipp was born in Moscow, Russia, & had to flee in the night to America as a young child. Without speaking the language, and with huge financial hurdles upon arriving, he put himself through college at UCI & cofounded a successful Venture Capital Firm here in CA. Filipp discusses his journey with me through addiction, time in prison, being homeless & ultimately reflecting on what was important to him & how he learned to obtain it.      About Filipp:  Filipp is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Cambridge Companies SPG, a global private equity and venture capital firm. The firm has a diverse portfolio of holdings including 27 consumer products companies in food, beverage, personal care and beauty.  Filipp has partnered with major celebrities such as Jennifer Garner, Drake, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jamie Foxx and others as co-founders and/or investors in his brands.        Social: @FilippChebotarev   Website: cambridgeSPG.com
