Taking Responsibility: Are We Thinking About Success and Ambition All Wrong? (Emma Grede)

Radical with Amol Rajan

Available for over a year

This week, the entrepreneur Emma Grede challenges 鈥榦ld thoughts鈥 about work-life balance, money, motherhood and success. She argues that focus, trade-offs and relentless effort matter more than comfort. From growing up in East London to building global businesses, she makes the case that opportunity still exists, if you鈥檙e willing to chase it. But are her ideas liberating - or just unforgiving? Emma Grede is the co鈥慺ounder of Skims, created with her husband Jens and Kim Kardashian, and the CEO and co鈥慺ounder of Good American, a fashion label known for its focus on inclusivity. She also serves on the board of the Obama Foundation and is an ambassador for The King鈥檚 Trust.
