## Resource

Emma Grede grew up as the eldest of four girls in East London, raised by a single mom with no safety net, no connections, and no blueprint for success, yet she never once believed she was at a disadvantage. This conversation reveals the raw, unfiltered mindset shifts that took her from cooking dinner for five at age ten to building some of the most recognizable brands in the world, and the hard truth about what it really takes to get there.
