NEW ASPIRE EPISODE
Transcript
I'm not exclusive. I'm not an exclusive girl. I sleep with everybody, Emma. I sleep with everybody. Better Frankel has built one of the most unconventional business models in modern media. No playbook, no exclusivity, and no interest in doing it anyone else's way. There's no strategy. I just execute ideas. There's always a better of exclusivity. How on earth have you got away with that? Because it really is my secret sauce. For Bethenny, money has never been the goal because she values her freedom above everything else. Feeling shackled, feeling trapped, feeling controlled. I never say how grateful I am after I make millions of dollars on a deal. You don't have an endgame? No. Because I'm not motivated by, like, money. Turns out freedom can be worth tens of millions of dollars. There's nothing a billionaire can do that I can't do. The money will come. The business will come. The ideas will come. You're a true entrepreneur, you'll find your way. I always leave at the peak of the party. Are you someone else when the camera goes off?
