""I had an idea, and I formed the partnership in my mind. The difference between me and someone else is that I made the phone call, I took the meeting, and I made it happen.""
""I have no imposter syndrome and no delusions of who gets to run a business. I just thought, if not me, then who?""
Emma Grede, a British entrepreneur, founded the successful denim brand Good American with Khloe Kardashian after a pivotal phone call to Kris Jenner in 2015. Grede, who previously ran an entertainment agency, envisioned a brand that catered to women overlooked by mainstream fashion. Despite lacking fashion industry experience, she confidently reached out to Jenner, leading to a face-to-face meeting that solidified the partnership. Grede's determination and proactive approach were key to launching the brand, which has since gained significant recognition and success.
