I have this theory that everyone has at least ONE person in their life/career without whom they would not be in the position they are today. And the more I thought about this, the more I wanted to hear from people—leaders, innovators, creators—about who exactly it was who changed everything for them. In 2021, we turned this thesis into a video series for Forbes, and longtime readers of this newsletter might remember those interviews: Kendra Scott told us about the banker who kept her entrepreneurial dreams alive in a moment of financial difficulty, while Budgetnista Tiffany Aliche told us how Lynnette Khalfani-Cox altered the course of her career by sharing her own platform.

I had hoped to be able to tell more of these stories in the years since, but with no immediate sponsor and lots of other projects on the team’s plates, other deadlines got prioritized. However, in a bit of welcome proof that good ideas never die, we got some good news earlier this year: Citi wanted to sponsor eight episodes. "The One Who Changed Everything" was given new life... and today, I can share that the first episode of season 1 is finally live for the world to see. It features Christina Lewis, who is building her own legacy using lessons learned from the first Black businessman to own a billion-dollar company in the U.S. Her story is as poignant as it is filled with practical information, and I hope you watch!

We'll be rolling out new episodes every week from now until November. Who is "the one" who changed........
