The C&C 100 All Stars on Starting Over, Ditching Perfection & Being the Villain in Someone Else's Story

We sat down with our C&C 100 All Stars — Allison Ellsworth, Keltie Knight, Chriselle Lim, Gregg Renfrew, and Alli Webb — to talk about what it really looks like to start over after you've already made it. From selling a company to Pepsi for nearly $2 billion to ditching the scarcity mindset to learning to be okay with being the villain in someone else's story, these women are proving that the second act is just as exciting as the first.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why purpose is more powerful than money
• What you have to let go of to build something new without carrying the baggage with you
• Why being the villain in someone else's story might actually be your superpower
• How to ditch perfection and embrace the messiness of figuring out what's next
• Why fun is the number one way to avoid burnout
• What two-time C&C 100 honorees know now that they wish they'd known then

Tune in to hear from some of the most seasoned and exciting voices in business right now — on their terms, on their timeline, and without ever compromising on what they believe in.
