For some, success is elusive while for others, it’s years of hard work and dedication.

But how can one truly and effectively achieve success?

How can we be as successful as the leaders we look up to?

Today, in the On Purpose podcast, Jay sits down with New York Times Bestselling Author, Alli Webb. After spending 15 years as a professional hairstylist, in 2010, she pioneered the Drybar concept, a chain of hair salons known for blowout services that quickly expanded nationwide. Jay and Alli go in depth about what the journey was behind creating a business to eventually selling the company for $225 million! Alli’s remarkable journey has landed her on the cover of Inc. Magazine, Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People in Business" list, Fortune magazine's "40 Under 40," and more. 

Alli and Jay explored the messy truth about starting something new– whether it’s a business or a relationship. They also talked about the importance of intuition and paying attention to red flags in entrepreneurship and the role of passion and love for what you do. 

You will also learn about how Alli balances her personal and professional life and the difficulty of navigating and ending a marriage. Remember that sometimes, we won’t always have the ‘perfect ending’ in our stories, and that’s okay. 

In this interview, you'll learn:

• The messy truths of entrepreneurship


• The importance of acknowledging imposter syndrome and using it as a source of motivation and growth


• The challenges and risks associated with starting and running a business


• How to take feedback as a gift


• How to cope with life changes and challenges

Remember that the most beautiful masterpieces are often created from the messiest of beginnings.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
