Joanna Gaines of Magnolia and “Fixer Upper” is a household name, but her path to success was anything but conventional. In this special episode, recorded live at Cherry Bombe’s Jubilee conference in 2023, Joanna sat down with host Kerry Diamond to reflect on her journey—from working in her father’s tire shop for a decade to becoming a design icon and media powerhouse.
Fresh off a meaningful family trip to Seoul, Joanna opened up about her early career disappointments, shared candid advice for young adults on college and purpose, and revealed what’s still on her bucket list. It’s an inspiring, grounded, and deeply personal conversation about staying true to your vision, even when the road is winding.
