And I think that belief is what pushes entrepreneurs through.
I mean, but we're hustlers, so I think I'm pretty confident. I think we'd have to assess the situation. But now with AI and all of the tools available, it's never been easier to start a company, ever.
Well, I think now I have the experience. You do too, right? I have decades of experience. I mean, that's why I wrote my book. I have so much. No, but it's interesting. My new book, Mistakes That Made Me a Millionaire, is all about the mistakes I made. I've made so many mistakes. So now, if I started...
From scratch, knowing what I know now, I would be able to skip a lot of lines, a lot of the heartache that you have. The dummy text. Yes, the dummy text. Oh, my gosh. I made so many mistakes through my journey. And if you can learn from those and skip those, you can obviously make millions faster.
I think it's being okay to look stupid, being okay to ask for help. People usually, and I talk about one of my mistakes that I made was thinking I could do it alone. Sure. And I thought I could do it alone because everyone told me I was crazy. I didn't want to look like I was under, like I was not qualified to run a company at 23 and having no experience, right?
So you just don't want to look stupid so you don't ask questions. And I think the most important thing to do is to ask. Like no one's successful alone. I haven't made, honestly, you can't make millions by yourself. Maybe you make it once or like one, but honestly, it's not scalable. It's not sustainable because then you're going to burn out. And it's actually not fun.
You want to do, like build great things with great people. It is fun and energizing to do that.
Yeah, I think we have a mission and a purpose just to give back and to help people less fortunate. I mean, I really do. And for me, my mission is entrepreneurs. So I spend most of my time giving my time actually back to entrepreneurs.
I especially focus on women entrepreneurs that I can help, that I can give a hand up because I've had so many amazing individuals help me and I want to return the favor. Yeah.
Yeah, I think for me, to your point, it has to be personal. And so I think my brands that I've invested in, I'm invested in a clean beauty company that's focused on sunscreen called K-Skin. And one in five, or four in five people, I think, are going to get cancer over the course of their life. It's huge. Whatever the number is, and I'm not quoting it correctly, but it's significant.
And so trying to find... causes that are very personal, like make the biggest impact, right? And whether it be Alzheimer's or breast cancer, whatever it is that personally resonates with you makes the most impact and you feel really fulfilled.
Oh, my gosh. I mean, for me, to be honest, it's not work-life separation. It's work-life integration. Most of my relationships are all integrated into creating and doing fun things together because my passion is creating and building. And I think also prioritizing. I say no to a lot of things that aren't either across my passion. I have family first all the time.
And then to be honest, I love to create. So I say, no, just a lot of things that aren't in that zone of genius where I'm at my best. So knowing when you're at your best, like what gives you energy and what drains your energy and then prioritizing accordingly and trying not to do everything.
Oh my gosh. It's so much. I'm a student of life. I love to learn. I'm now a beverage expert, which makes me a better investor. So if you would have said to me before I founded Junie and I'm in it, right? Like I can, I know every detail. So it's so fun to be able to now evaluate new investments because my knowledge base is so vast and I just love to learn. So I think you really have to
Honestly, if you want to operate or invest, I like to do both, but love to learn and have a good time. If you love who you're building with and love the product or challenge you're trying to solve in the market, I mean, this is energizing to do, right? And if it's energizing, this is like filling your bucket up, which is amazing.
So some companies, honestly, I just give a check and advise and I help make connections. Some companies actually I believe in, like I'm healthy. I love biohacking, everything about health I like to do. It makes a lot of sense. And I want to drink something that's better for me than like a soda, right? I mean, I'm on the go. I just, it feels good to put good things in your body.
Oh, my gosh. That's a good question. I mean, we told our kids at 18 they're out. So I'm very into having to be out. And they're like, oh, mom, it's coming. You know, I got only 13 good years left. So, I mean, honestly, we haven't thought about that in terms of. what we're going to leave or not leave to our children.
I think just because right now we're in a building phase of life, but I don't want, I mean, it would handicap my children to give them too much. So likely, if you know me, you're likely not going to give them much. I mean, honestly, leaving them books. The books are a roadmap to success. Read the books, you'll be successful.
So I really don't want to, we make it a point, we don't give a lot, you know, because I don't think you need to. I think if we teach them how to be great little leaders, like that's the best gift I can ever give them. So, I mean, the honest answer is probably not a lot, very little. Right.
No, I don't think. I'm probably closer to the zero part, to be honest. You know, because I started with nothing. Sure. And I think that gave me tenacity and passion and grit. And I want them to have the same... passion and drive that I have.
