So often we see the polished highlight reel of entrepreneurship, but rarely do we hear the truth about what it actually takes to build something iconic. In this finale of The Summer Edit, Jen Szpigiel pulls back the curtain and shares the raw, unfiltered reality of leadership, resilience, and devotion.
From betrayals and setbacks to rebuilding her brand and team from the ground up, Jen opens up about the experiences that carved her into the leader she is today. She reminds us that business is not about convenience or quick wins, but about showing up, doing the hard things, and becoming someone who can hold the success you desire.
This episode is both a mirror and a challenge. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re just playing dress up in your business or truly in it for the long haul, Jen’s words will inspire you to roll up your sleeves, raise your standards, and step boldly into the deep end.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• The unseen moments that tested Jen’s resilience and shaped her leadership
• Why the hardest seasons can become the foundation for the deepest growth
• The choice Jen made when betrayal and loss could have ended it all
• What it really takes to build a business that lasts when convenience is no longer an option
• The truth about belief, integrity, and the choices that define your legacy
