From broke 20-something to $500M net worth
Raw conversation with Jess Mah
Just dropped my conversation with Jess Mah, who once made Wall Street Journal's front page by offering $100,000 to anyone who could find her a husband.
(Spoiler: She was about to raise it to $1M this year before meeting her boyfriend)
But that's just the beginning. In this candid interview, Jess reveals:
How she went from "typical immigrant living in a small NYC apartment" to building a $500M fortune
Why she got her mom to sponsor her $6,000 TED ticket at age 16 (and how it changed everything)
The truth about why most women are "a little gold-diggery" (her words, not mine)
Her controversial take on why not every woman should be a "boss babe"
The exact way she structures her empire with 3 full-time recruiters
Plus, she shares why she pays her executive recruiters with equity instead of cash (and why it works).

PS: She also explains why she fired her live-in chef/bodyguard/assistant experiment this year (and what she learned from it).
