Go-getters, mark your calendars: Emma Grede\u2014the serial entrepreneur, podcast host, and outspoken advocate for women’s financial and professional empowerment\u2014is taking her debut book on tour to eight cities, bringing her straight-talking insights from Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life <\/a>to the stage in a series of intimate and candid conversations with special guests.<\/p>\n Grede has built her career on turning big ideas into culture-shifting brands, and her reputation on refusing to gatekeep what it really takes to “have it all.” One of America’s richest self-made women, Grede’s resume reads like a highlight reel of the past decade in pop-commerce. In 2016, she co-founded the women\u2019s clothing brand Good American with Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian; in 2019, she became a founding partner of SKIMS; in 2021, she co-founded the plant-based cleaning and self-care brand Safely with Kris Jenner and Chrissy Teigen; and more recently, she launched Off Season, a sports apparel and merchandise company created in collaboration with designer Kristin Juszczyk. Somehow, she also found time to serve on the board of directors for the Obama Foundation and the nonprofit Baby2Baby, in addition to her role as chairwoman of the Fifteen Percent Pledge. Oh, and she did all of that while raising four children<\/a>.<\/p>\n This book and tour invite women to rethink everything they\u2019ve been taught about success<\/p>\n While it would be easy for Grede to rest on her laurels and chalk up her success to a mix of luck and hard work, the business mogul has been refreshingly granular about how she got to where she is\u2014and how other women can follow in her footsteps. In 2022, she appeared on Oprah Daily\u2019s Insider Roundtable<\/a> on female founders<\/a> with editor-at-large Gayle King and fellow business leaders Kristin Sudeikis and Laura Modi, where she opened up about her biggest professional mistakes and breakthroughs. <\/p>\n In May of last year, she launched her Aspire with Emma Grede<\/a> podcast, carrying that same no-gatekeeping honesty into conversations with boundary-breaking guests like Michelle Obama, Jessica Alba, and Reese Witherspoon.<\/p>\n Start With Yourself is the continuation (and, in many ways, culmination) of Grede’s work to demystify power\u2014financial, professional, personal\u2014and put language to what\u2019s usually left unspoken. Out April 14, the book reads like a blueprint: direct, structured, and designed for people who want action, not inspirational slogans. Grede zeroes in on the “Old Thoughts” that keep women stuck: the idea that talking candidly about money is rude, the myth of the perfect “work-life balance,” and the pressure to soften your drive for the comfort of others. The point, she says, is to strike those biases from your thinking so you can lead with more control\u2014maybe even mastery\u2014over both your day-to-day decisions and your long-term goals. \u201cThis book and tour invite women to rethink everything they\u2019ve been taught about success,\u201d Grede said. \u201cFrom money and ambition to work, motherhood, and leadership,<\/a> I want to strip away outdated narratives and encourage women to pursue power and purpose without apology.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out the exclusive schedule below to find the tour stop closest to you.
