This episode is a MUST listen. If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, overlooked, or underpaid, you need to hit play. This is the most motivational, eye-opening episode that you will ever hear, and it will give you the roadmap to become the bolder, braver, more confident, and richer version of yourself you know you’re meant to be. Today, Mel is joined by Barbara Corcoran. Barbara is one of the original Sharks on Shark Tank, a real estate mogul, and one of the most influential self-made women in business.

She’ll remind you it’s not too late and you’re not too old - you can reinvent your life, achieve more, and go after what you want using the playbook she shares in this episode. Barbara was called “stupid” at school. She worked 22 different jobs before she borrowed $1,000 to start her business with her boyfriend… and then got dumped when he left her for her secretary. But that was just the start of her story. She proves that anything is possible when you refuse to quit. Today, she’s built a legendary career, created one of the biggest real estate companies in New York City, and sold it for millions - by refusing to let other people’s opinions define her.
