Jennifer Fisher on Why Failure is Essential to Success

Jennifer Fisher, the Founder and Chief Brand Officer of jewelry label Jennifer Fisher, and the NYTimes-anointed “queen of hoops,” sits down with Sali today. She’s sharing a glimpse at the 20+ year success story that started unintentionally—with a piece of personalized jewelry to celebrate the birth of her child. It's grown into a lifestyle brand with her personal story at the forefront. From designing to developing her own seasoning salts, to the release of her cookbook, Trust Your Gut, and a new wellness platform, Maedyn, Jennifer is a founder who truly breaks the mold.
