I wanted to share with you a compelling episode of my podcast Success is Never Accidental featuring Brian Smith, founder of UGG Boots—an iconic global brand that started with a simple idea and became a worldwide phenomenon.

When I met Brian in California, I was struck by his authenticity, humility, and deep understanding of the entrepreneurial journey. In this interview, he generously shares the real story behind UGG, along with practical insights that are relevant for leaders, start-ups, and seasoned professionals alike.
