What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
She was extraordinary. My mother taught me a lot about just like bringing intention to what you do, bringing and being the child of accomplished parents.
What key lessons did Ivanka Trump learn from her childhood?
Most people thought that I would lack the ambition, the preparedness, but my mother taught me that being underestimated is not a bad thing. It's a very powerful thing, actually. And it almost always worked to the detriment of the person who underestimated me.
From real estate to her own multi-million dollar fashion line, Ivanka Trump continues to carve her own path into the business world, succeeding at every turn.
And then you learn two weeks before he announces, your father decides he wants to be president of the United States. Did you have any sense that this was at all on the horizon?
Not really. And then when he pulled the trigger, it was full steam.
Most people wouldn't give up an $800 million and your business to go into government. Why did you?
He asked us for help and he's like, but I have to warn you, they're gonna come at you hard. They're probably gonna hate you.
How did her parents' divorce shape her perspective on trust?
But one of the things I've learned in moments of tremendous pressure and scrutiny where any slip up is completely weaponized against you is to find the signal in the noise. I just don't get distracted by the outside noise. That's probably the thing that has been most helpful to me in terms of performance and success because you have a choice only in how you respond.
You've said politics is a pretty dark world. This is quite a difficult question to ask, but when you heard the news that there was an assassination attempt on your father's life, do you remember where you were? What's that like as a daughter?

Ivanka, you don't do many interviews, do you?
Not really, no.
Why don't you do much media stuff or podcasting or interviews?
I actually don't know.
What negotiation tactics does Ivanka use in her business dealings?
I think I get sort of really locked in and heads down on what I'm working on that I I tend to kind of put on blinders and just go but I like to have conversations in longer form with people that I admire.
I think the reason why I do this is because I naturally see everybody as like a jigsaw puzzle. And you've lived an extraordinary life. You've lived an extraordinary, atypical life that, I mean, it's safe to say almost nobody on planet Earth has ever experienced. And so I think I asked that question just to be completely honest at the top, because the life you've lived that we'll get into is one that would have shaped you in... a number of ways. And one of them is, I think, from what I read, things that you had said and different experiences you had as a child is just like trusting people.
Why did Ivanka Trump step away from her business for government service?
You know, it's interesting. I grew up the child of wealthy and accomplished parents. And so I do think there's like a natural barrier that goes up. You're worried about people, especially when you're a kid, liking you for the wrong reasons. I see this now with my son. He wants to be loved by his friends, and I appreciate that.
What was Ivanka's reaction to her father's presidential campaign announcement?
That's good for who he is, not for who we are and certainly not for what we have. So I do think being the child of famous parents and living such a privileged life, I had this guard, and that guard served me really well for a long time. I didn't have any friends despite the— really tumultuous life that I've had, ups and downs, who really disappointed me, meaning close, close friends who didn't show up for me or who changed because of my circumstances or what was happening around me.
