Why is Hailey Bieber’s Rhode a $1B empire while other celebrity brands feel like "cash grabs"?

Shopify President, Harley Finkelstein, breaks down the elite playbook behind Rhode, Skims, Kylie Cosmetics, Gymshark, and Chamberlain Coffee. From the “9 Person Rule” (why your friends are keeping you broke) to the “3,872 Books” email hack that caught Gary Vee’s attention, Harley explains how the world's most successful founders actually think!

No more waiting for a sign, a mentor, or 'perfect' timing. The cost of entry is $39 and a 'stupid' idea that you’re finally brave enough to start. The golden age of entrepreneurship is here - don't let it happen without you!
