Great new episode of The Deal with Serena Williams out now. I was both impressed and inspired by the stories and advice she shared about her journey as an athlete and businesswomen. Thanks to PwC for sponsoring this episode.
“It’s clear that I’m different. I’m a Black girl playing tennis.” Serena Williams tells Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly why her clothing choices on the court were important beyond making a fashion statement.

Serena, a proud woman, black or white, is one of the best tennis players in the world. A beautiful guest.
Serena went beyond and above to create a Personal brand of exceptional value.

2moThe level of success you attain depends on how much failure you’re willing to endure. More failures equals more success — given you’re learning and iterating from each failure. Our greatest moments of growth often stem directly from our greatest failures. This is what Michael Jordan was talking about when he said: “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” If you want massive success, be prepared to fail a lot. This means you’ve gotta change how you see things — getting punched in the face may hurt, but it also builds a strong jaw. Don’t fear failure. Learn to fail smart and fast.
