Mikaela Shiffrin was throwing up before almost every race, drowning in performance anxiety no one could see.

The world's winningest alpine skier reveals why thinking about winning made her lose, how her mom taught her to master the mental game, and why she didn't want to break the all-time wins record.

She won a race by three seconds after an injury and the world called her slow for only winning the next one by seven tenths. Shiffrin opens up about the choking sensation that triggered her gag reflex, the sports psychologists who helped her reframe fear, and why she hopes people debate the greatest of all time forever.

This is about the gap between external success and internal struggle and what it takes to stay human under superhuman pressure.

Kendra Scott reveals the shocking truth about 2020: while the world saw a billion-dollar brand thriving, she was sobbing herself to sleep every night, feeling like a complete fraud.

Lewis reveals a truth most people run from: being broke isn't your failure, it's your education.

He shares his own season sleeping on his sister's couch with no income, no savings, and no clear path forward, feeling trapped and questioning his worth.

You'll learn why the lessons you gain when money is scarce teach you more about wealth than any amount in your bank account ever could.

Lewis walks you through five specific reasons why financial struggle forces critical growth around resourcefulness, self-worth, and your relationship with money itself. This isn't about romanticizing poverty or staying broke, it's about extracting wisdom from hard seasons so that when money does come, you're actually ready to keep it.
