How can you stay resilient and not lose hope when it feels like life is blocking all your exit routes? Bobby Berk, design expert and Emmy nominated TV host of Queer Eye was just a high school dropout from Missouri who yearned to escape and find his place in the world. After some rough years of living in his car, getting jail time, barely scraping by financially, and being told he’d never amount to anything, he continued to bet on himself, say “yes” even when he had no clue what he was doing, and has become one of the most acclaimed interior designers today. He shares how you can dust yourself off after a setback, why it’s a blessing to not have a roadmap, how to stop yourself from falling into the comparison trap, and why embracing your uniqueness is the most important key to success.
