Be Grateful For What You Have, But Be Fearless In What You Want

“Be grateful for what you have, but be fearless in what you want.”

These are the wise words of Rebecca Minkoff, who I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing on the 7:47 Podcast last month.

A global industry leader in fashion and apparel, Rebecca knows what it takes to follow one’s passion and use gratitude as a force for innovation.

When I asked Rebecca to think about someone she’d like to thank, she shared an unexpected answer—her preschool teacher. Despite being held back from kindergarten, her teacher had said that Rebecca was a "natural-born leader." And, at just four years old!

Rebecca’s story reminds me that we are all shaped by our early experiences. And sometimes, we need others to believe in us before we even know what we're capable of.
