I had the incredible pleasure of sitting down with the remarkable KK Hart. From the moment I met KK, I was captivated by her light and the mastery she demonstrates in entrepreneurship through business acquisition. KK's journey, beginning with her family's move from Trinidad to the U.S. and transitioning from a single-parent household, is both inspiring and enlightening.

From the very beginning, KK learned to have a pragmatic view of work and money and used that to launch herself forward very early on in life. She is an open book about her childhood experiences, the lessons learned from her mother's resilience, and the dual life she led growing up in a less affluent neighborhood while attending schools with wealthier peers.

All of these experiences and lessons led her to an impressive path through college, where she graduated early and was able to buy a house by the time she left school with all the money she had already saved up.

From there, she shares her bold career start in big pharma and the pivotal moments that led her to leave corporate America and bet on herself by launching her consultancy and acquiring businesses. KK's story is a testament to the power of self-belief, strategic financial planning, and the willingness to take risks.

Join me to take it all in and dive into the power that comes with constantly betting on yourself — and winning.
