In this episode, Felecia Hatcher is joined by Necole Kane - a retired celeb blogger, media mogul, founder of My Happy Flo, and the queen of making pivots. From being the brains behind Necole Bitchie to crafting xoNecole, which she later sold to Will Packer Media, Necole spills the beans on navigating the rollercoaster of business & personal transformations.
Necole’s journey is a masterclass in embracing change and turning your failures into fuel for success. She doesn't sugarcoat the challenges she faces at each turn, but rather, she shines a light on how to keep pushing forward when the world seems to revel in your missteps. From handling the naysayers to finding your deeper purpose in business, Nicole shares the gritty details of her story like never before on the So Ambitious podcast.
