This week, Jason is joined by  a powerhouse who's not just building brands, but shaping the future of entrepreneurship, Emma Grede!

As Co-Founder and CEO of Good American and Founding Partner of SKIMS, to becoming the first black woman to guest star as a shark on Shark Tank. With a keen eye for opportunity, a passion for equality, and a voice that resonates far beyond the boardrooms, Emma is redefining what it means to lead, especially as a woman and a woman of color. 

In this episode, Emma shares how she recognized her entrepreneurial spirit early on—watching her mom budget, understanding the cost of everything, and forming a deep emotional connection to money. She opens up about raising capital for Good American, growing from a modest client base to working with some of the biggest names, and the hard lessons learned after failing in LA and starting from scratch. Emma talks about building a full-service reputation, earning trust, and key insights from investor Andrew Rosen. She explains how directly asking women what they need has informed her investment and product strategies, the top three traits she looks for when deciding where to invest, and how she keeps up with fast-moving trends. Plus, she breaks down her rules for hiring, firing, and promoting, shares the inspiration behind her new podcast Aspire with Emma Grede, and talks about her recent collaboration with Off Season and designer Kristin Juszczyk.

In this episode, Bran opens up about his journey navigating imposter syndrome and staying authentic in the digital space. He reflects on pivotal moments that shaped his life—from high school struggles with popularity to finding his true self in college. Bran breaks down his approach to content creation, including how he uses TikTok analytics, the power of a strong “hook,” and applying an MLA-style formula to videos. He also shares what it felt like to hit 1 million followers and the deeper motivation behind his content: supporting local businesses. The conversation spans his background in retail, platform-by-platform differences, and why he champions salary transparency and acknowledges privilege.
