    Her father was an othopedic surgeon in Texas which according to the washington post article from 1992 national average for surgeons was $236,400.00 which with inflation is more like $528,682.28 in todays money, her mother was an author.
    Her brother started a dry cleaning business worth 1.2 million in college, sold his stake and they bother came in third place on the amazing race. After that he went on to start a reality tv network with the founder of E! TV and after that he went on to start the TOMS shoe company which she cofounded with him.
    So the move to California with nothing schtic is pretty disengenious, not saying she did not work hard to start her company but she started on first base...

      It's great that she found success, but to sell a story like she was a broke surfer sewing the inventory is dishonest. She's successful but dishonest?

    Nice content! Few years back i was assistant to a wealthy pen artist and within the short period i worked with him i observed that he had quite a chunk of investment everywhere, stocks, crypto, dividend investing to name a few, so he had revenues coming in from all angles. And in a year his worth doubled. With this I learned that the rich stay rich by investing.

    Hey YOU, incredible person reading this...The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn that skill and go after it! I believe in you so much! Have an awesome day! - Love, Nat ❤️

    It is remarkable, looking at how people dressed in 1900-1950s and then today. They weren’t mostly fat either. Hey, if people will pay $200 for sweat pants and $1500 for a puffy jacket, good on you!

      When people get money, the next they want to achieve is power. That’s why people who’ve got money and realized they’ll never be satisfied going after material things anymore STOP at the money stage and tell people to also stop chasing because it gets more and more dangerous when you want more and more and are never satisfied

    So her brand is based on imitating surf and ski-ware fashion styles from the late 1970s and early 1980s? That lightning bolt is straight from Elvis Presley's (TCB) logo. This just proves that people will buy anything.

    Dangerous advice.. "do what you love".. will cause many to take imprudent risks.. As a side gig, sure, try things....... I'm an insurance agent. Do I love it? Nooo way.. Does it provide? absolutely. I can name 10 things that I love, but won't pay the bills if I make them into a business. Not everybody is going to hit the jackpot doing what they're "passionate" about.... this "passion" word (which she overused in the clip) is ruining the younger generations...
