Bobbi Brown

Actually, you walked out of an elevator at some Forbes or Fortune thing where we both got awards and I was trying so hard to get your attention.

You were just so busy.

I don't know if I've always been ambitious.

I mean, I was the kid that had the lemonade stand.

I sold jewelry in my basement when I was a kid.

So I've always been like that.

And I come from a family of entrepreneurs.

My Papa Sam, who came from another country and then built up a car dealership, I saw the way he worked.

And, you know, I wasn't great in school.

So I wasn't interested in normal things like being an accountant or, you know, money manager.

And I just found what my passion was and I followed it.

Well, the truth of the matter is I don't see age.

I really don't see age.

There's some very young people that are super smart and accomplished.

And there's some older people that are not.

So I don't see age.

I don't think of myself of a woman of a certain age.

I don't think of myself as a female founder.

I'm a founder and I am a woman and I have figured things out.

I'm also a wife, a mother and a grandmother.
