Let me tell you about my friend Jenny … a 100 Million Dollar immigrant founder I met Jenny Zhu earlier this year and we became fast friends. I’m wildly obsessed with her and her story. Here is a snippet… She wasn’t born into wealth. She arrived in the US from China in her 20s barely speaking English. She was a maid and a nanny and grew up without electricity ⚡️ TALK ABOUT BARRIERS… Jenny founded Lush Home Decor in 2008 and generates over $100 MILLION in revenues each year!⚡️ WOWSERS!!! Some would say she came from nothing. She will tell you she came from hard work, determination and love. She seriously is the most authentic, humble and generous woman! Jenny partially exited the business so she could focus on mentoring, giveback, and sharing inspiration around the world. She just published her memoir [swipe to see] and turned it into a short film, which just played at the Venice Film Festival. I cannot wait to share more about this amazing woman and introduce her again at KNOW Summit. ### Your circle matters. If you’re the smartest in the room, the most successful, the only one going places - seek a new circle. The room also matters. Get yourself in rooms that are bigger than you. I met Jenny in a room I was invited to a few years ago that I keep coming back to. I was seated next to her at a luncheon and we sparked a conversation… simple as that. That’s how it starts 🤍🤍🤍
