Built a $34M Company on One Lesson From Her Dad at 7 | Ep. 401 with Kate Monroe

الوصف

Kate Monroe went from Marine Corps veteran to 8-figure CEO, actress, mother, and one of the most relentless entrepreneurs you'll ever hear from. But the lesson that shaped her life did not come from business school. It came from her dad when she was 7 years old. In this episode of Founder's Story, Daniel Robbins sits down with Kate Monroe to talk about how she scaled her company from $750,000 to nearly $34 million in sales in just three years, why she believes success starts with a decision, and how one childhood lesson taught her to handle pressure, problems, and pain without letting them ruin everything else. Kate shares the difference between being a "makeup bag person" and a "toolbox person," a simple mindset shift that helped her compartmentalize challenges, build a veteran-owned company, run for Congress, step into film, and launch Studio Mint. This is a conversation about grit, discipline, ambition, and what it really takes to keep going when most people would quit. In this episode, we cover: The lesson Kate learned from her dad at 7 years old How she scaled from $750K to nearly $34M in sales Why "decided" became one of the most important words in her life How she writes a full book in just 14 hours Why being the face of your brand can change everything The mindset behind outworking the competition Her move into acting, movies, vertical shorts, and Studio Mint Why she believes social media has made people more disconnected The difference between starting something and actually finishing it Follow Kate Monroe: Instagram / Socials: @KateMonroeCEO Website: KateMonroeCEO.com Subscribe to Founder's Story for more conversations with founders, creators, leaders, and entrepreneurs building extraordinary lives.
