She Kept Lady Gaga's World Running. Then Lost Her Own.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it actually take to go from backstage with the Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga to losing everything and rebuilding from scratch? In this episode, Hina sits down with Tara Stubbins, founder of Take It Easy Group and the no-nonsense brand F the Fluff, who has spent a decade learning success secrets from the world's most iconic performers - and then had to use every single one of them to survive her own business collapse.
Tara gets brutally honest about crashing from 750K to under 20K a month, the moment a bubble bath nearly broke her, and why the middle part of every comeback story is the piece nobody talks about. This is the conversation founders actually need.
Key Takeaways
The one thing every rock star, CEO and athlete has in common is extreme singular focus.
Morning routines are just the vehicle. Focus is the destination.
You cannot automate your way out of chasing the wrong numbers.
Get the right clients, not just more clients.
Asking for help is not weakness.
You are only as successful as your network.
The middle part of recovery is the most important and most overlooked story in business.
