She's wise. She said her company only hires nice and kind people. Nailed it!!!! I've often thought why don't companies do more of that. It cuts down on drama and low morale!!!!
I thought about it many times. If all companies hire only nice and kind people, then the all the non-kind people won't have a job and a crisis will happen, more theft and a high number of unemployment will follow.
@@salomonweiss7871 I totally respect your opinion but it also would maybe send a strong message to the "not so nice" people to check their bad attitudes, morale, negativity and drama at the door and leave it all outside the work place or find themselves jobless. Otherwise It is harmful to productivity and in many other ways that takes it's toll on many positive, caring workers who try hard to do their best at work. Negativity is like a cancer...it can spread....and very fast!!
...and not a Black face in the bunch. Smh. What a nice, pretty RACIST. she is the epitome of white supremacy - everything for witey, nothing for anyone else. I hope people are paying attention.
@@missshannon9790 OMG, I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT!
@@shaiska you know?! So blatantly racist. But see, that's how they do. That's the name of their game....keep it in "the family."
Even a blind person can see this benign racism.
I love when she said we hire kind people! She is wise too bad more companies aren't like that. What an inspiration she is.
Carol Berwind not all companies sell jewelry do they?
Matt Zim Let me help you Matt, the POINT is that ALL COMPANIES can CHOOSE to be *discerning* during the hiring process, so that they can HIRE *KIND* PEOPLE. *Kind* people are unselfish, thoughtful, think of diplomatic ways to say what's on their mind, not pedantic, help out where needed even if it's not THEIR responsibility etc etc.
🔹This can be determined by questionaires with scenarios and noting their interactions with others during the 3 month probationary period before giving them a permanent position.
@@estherstrategicadvisor749 Matt's being pedantic 😑 and Scott's right. Choosing good people is one of the best ways to grow your brand the *right* way Matt #dumb
@@butterflycrimescene12, poor you
She's awesome!!!!
'NO in reverse is ON.' Never forgetting that.
Lora Shagus so true right...I will always keep this is mind now as well ☺️☺️☺️
Lora Shagus True. The more ppl say no the more you should push
👍
ikr? What a great way of looking at it!! have to keep reminding myself this too.... A mompreneur here, myself ...now 13+ yrs in, and still plugging away with one of the most useful accessories you've never heard of (which totally works! :). to see what I mean, there's demo on www.portapocket.info (or also on our .com site) xox
‘Game On’
She has Grace in her voice...And Gratitude 😘, Truly Blessed 🌞
Totally unrelated but her skin looks so good, I'm jealous!
Righttt? And she's 45? I'm so confused. she needs to drop that skincare & treatment routine lol
When your rich you can afford to look good.
@@passiveinvestor1978 true but even when she didn't have all that money her skin looked incredible, just look at her pictures with her sons right after she became a single mom!
Don't be jealous of anyone your beautiful too.
Get a good skincare routine and follow it everyday. Try vital proteins beauty collagen powder. Also, save money and buy some of the gadgets that people use in spas(doesn’t have to be the huge version many companies make smaller, less expensive stuff) which will save you a lot more than actually going to those spas. I give many people this advice and when they follow it, they see fantastic results
A billion dollar business with ethics, morals and values where all the employees get along and are happy to come to work? No surprise that it's owned by a woman!
YAY! #gurlpower
Yesssssss🎉🎉
@@titoskywalker89 So who are you mad at? Me? The woman who owns the business? Or the employees who are happy making their checks for an ethical boss? Is that what you live to do? May the force be with you Tito Skywalker!!
extremely sexist comment!
@@ZZZ333 I don't know whether to be flattered or offended. I guess it depends on my gender.
We hire nice people, we hire kind people....you know that is the right attitude to have!
How bout hire some BLACK people. Or does she not consider Us nice, or people.
Miss Shannon
Oh shut up
@@LuLu-sy8oz NO.
@@missshannon9790 And don't forget men. Just imagine if a man started a company and 98% of the workforce was men. Their would be lawsuits from women screaming equality left and right.
Amun Ra Of course, men not having a place in business has always been the problem. www.thenational.ae/opinion/comment/from-the-supreme-court-to-cern-the-absurdity-of-male-victimhood-1.777099
Jeff Bezos should take a page out of her book. Profit and world domination isnt everything when all your ground level employees are miserable...
A billion dollars is a lot less than 57 billion.
Jeff Bezos should have taken a page out of her book. Don't get married and if you're married, get a divorce before your partner can take half of your growing wealth.
@@angelina4049 They are talking about the company being worth 1 billion. Amazon is worth 1 trillion.
@@biplav32 lol exactly
@boimackhead I am not Indian but they are doing something right. Their wage is highest among all nationality in USA. Humility is only important in certain cases.
You have given this single mom so much hope 🙏🏼 thank you
Amazing, how are you?
@@tanwoog6613 Gross. I’m guessing she wasn’t looking to get hit on by commenting. 🙄
“This is Janet, shipping and receiving for Kendra Scott” 😆😆😆😆😆
Well done Mom! As always
Smart, ditched the husband and became a billionaire. Nice 😁
Women are awesome. Dudes hate it when women rise.
@Manuel Santos Your statement makes no sense, you can't honestly believe that all women idolize Cardi B.
Manuel Santos I suggest you learn how to put a sentence together before you start calling people dumb.
@@missxmarvel Please dont generalize i would be more than happy for any good person to succeed
Jamie Reyes Most are..they get in between a woman’s dream and discourage her but become upset when their plan fails.
PLEASE, CBS, use CC for videos like this, for those of us that are hearing impaired!! I really wanted to hear this, but clarity is a problem for me, and CC would have been a BIG help. Because you didn't have it, I didn't get much out of it.
Sorry you had that problem. I searched for a video that has cc hope you enjoy. It’s a different video but has similar content.
czcams.com/video/WmqPQn6SyOU/video.html
@@jelisasapphire7152 Closed captioning is a good feature for everyone. I agree. Sometimes the background noise around us does not allow people to hear.
Even though I can hear. I like cc at times myself. All should do cc!!
I keep saying the same thing. ..Hopefully...They will listen soon. :))
I have to use CC to watch Game of Thrones
I dont like her jewelry but wow what a story. Unreal. So beautiful and intelligent! Kudos to her.
same
Same. It looks cheap for a hefty price tag. But she seems like a sweet soul and a very good business woman
@@amdl270 I have one of her pieces and let me tell you: the quality is spectacular. It feels heavy and well made. You can choose what color you want and I chose a crystal which feels and looks amazing. I personally love the quality for how much I paid. And I agree with you, she does seem kind and smart!
@jocelyn K. Her pieces are high quality and lightweight. Try a neutral. The whites are fabulous. I promise you will love your piece.
@@kylakegal4911 really? The designs look more like older lady designs for my mom..which is fine. But not very stylish....again its preference. I still think she is amazing and needs to have more interviews:)))
She's amazing didn't even know about her!!
Ex husband couldn't see the vision and tolerate the journey.
He is probably living somewhere in the wilderness where he has made peace with nature
Some people are in your Life for a season and a reason....Sooo with that Tjank him for leaving quietly💙
Maybe she divorced him for some other reason
Ego caused husband to lose out on a billion.
🥰Wonderful story! I bet her ex husband is sick! 🤣😂🤣
😅😅😅😅
maybe he left her cause he couldn’t handle her work ethics 🙄
Kanchan Mahat marriage is supposed to be for better or worse- ... if your “guess” is true and because making jewelry was HER passion it was a positive move- he could have jumped on board- AND HELPED- as he has a family with her- her working on a business shouldn’t have ran him off unless he was jealous (which is totally a guess on my part as well) we are grown and ending a marriage needs to have way more behind it than just working to much- like cheating or abuse... she obviously was still having sex- as they had children/a kid in the picture 💁🏽 but hey you nor I will never know why they got a divorce- BUT my point is That I’m Sure he wished they could have made it together - he definitely ain’t doing this good in life. There is no information available about her ex connecting him to her- she made sure of that.
That's what I was thinking. I hope most of her success was without him. No spousal support money.
explaination was too long. make it short.
She’s 44 and looks 25...kindness and good intentions can keep you beautiful❤️
If they didn't tell me she was 44 I would've guess she might be in her twenties! Nothing makes me happier than seeing women determined to rise through great struggles. Definitely an inspiration to young women!
Her eyes look like they're prone to suicide!
When she said she went door to door looking for a company to purchase her product, I knew she was in her 40s. We're the only generation that pounded the pavement.
I loved this interview with Kendra Scott. I love her line even more!
Never heard of her line but will buy stuff in the near future just because of how she treats ppl
I don't like her jewelry!
This short interview changed my life
OMG I keep my jewelry in a Bentley's tea box...I started in my bedroom, so I'm hoping I can get that far and farther...🤞🏽
I just started my own business. I admire this woman.
good luck to you :)
What kind
I know that EX is kicking himself !
She radiates kindness and positivity
Kim Kong she really does. Bless her.
My daughter was in the childrens hosptial for a short period of time and received a beautiful Kendra Scott piece! I couldnt believe she would be so generous to give to the children and not plain or low cost either. Her heart is huge and I can understand why she is so successful.
This was educational and inspirational
I see u everywhere
Pure definition of the American Dream 🇺🇸
Im so inspired by her story
Pray My Hair Salon can continue to blossom the same way
Kendra Scott is an amazing person and as a jewelry designer I admire the determination that she has for her business in order to keep her employees happy.
I. Am. Modalar jewelry. 26. Year. l want to job
Its easy to see that she is a kind , humble CEO! Full of positive vibes and optimism , you deserve all the success of your business. It would be an honor to be part of this company where employees are treated like queens!
I have recently bought a piece of her jewelry and it’s gorgeous.
I’ve never heard of her brand!! Damn I must be living under the rocks! Btw, her blue dress omg! Beautiful
It's overpriced just like Pandora and James Avery, but with all the great things that she brings with her company I can stand behind it. Good for her.
It might be overpriced but there are those that see the price as reasonable, affordable or luxury. Look at LV and gucci.
Also you have to consider what are the products that made the jewelry, the audience they are selling too and the shipping cost.
@@LadyPinkster This is only my opinion. Others are free to buy what they want whether people think it's overpriced or not.
It's not made in a sweat shop.
@@Alex-uo4qq "with all the great things that she brings with her company"
Only overpriced because people want quality now at bargain basement price direct from China.
Oh my goodness. This was so familiar. I left my husband and filed for divorce when my two boys were also 1 and 3, I know this fear. This hit so close to home. So encouraging. WOW. Great story!
I thought she would be a snob... But damn... She's literally the kindest and nicest business person I've ever known! She's a huge role model seriously...
I’m trying to find my blessing while going through a separation from my husband of 21 years. 😕 I know I’ll find it.
God will give you strength God bless.
Yes you will girl!
I wish you all the best!!
I’m trying my best. I’m still searching for the light at the end of the tunnel. I know I will find it soon or later. Thanks to all for the good wishes.
@@pinaopina i got some light for you baby girl ;) hahahahahaa just giving some spice to the conversation :)
She's so lovely and calm and feels like a really kind person.
Love this kind of story. So inspirational.
Just the way that she speaks and the substance that comes with it makes me feel so motivated and to strive even more ☺️☺️
I needed to see this. Thank you for sharing!
This woman is beautiful!
That's why I clicked on the "thumbnail" photo!
I was thinking "who would divorce such perfection"
Money usually causes a certain glow. People underestimate what financial and general stress does to a body. She is living out her dream. I want to get there too. I have an entrepreneurial spirit too.
fabulous life Im sure shes got plenty of stress too. But her aura is gentle and loving which is attractive.
She is amazing. I want my business to be like hers.
she’s opening a store where im at and im getting some stuff and im so exited
She is such an inspiration!! Wishing her the best and so much more success💛.
I love this soo much ‼️ thank you🦋
I'm deeply touched, not so many persons get the opportunity to get such important life changing information. I had to take a boat immediately to my village just to share his precious information with my people.
Even the council of chiefs and the igwes were so impressed and grateful. Thanks for sharing this post
She is an amazing woman with such an inspirational story! I love that quote, "it's not over, this could be just the beginning." Well said Kendra!
Man I have always loved her jewelry I have a few necklaces and earrings and a bracelet but I am so happy and love her pieces even more now after seeing this video! She seems like such a hard working kindhearted women!
If you look at the word "NO" in the mirror it's "ON"-- I've never heard that but, I love it!!
I was meant to see this!💕
Absolutely inspirational Kendra, love it 😍
She’s blessed because of her being down to earth .. thats good if you really started at the bottom 👍
Thank you Kendra! Kendra's jewelry which my wife loves, has made my birthday, Valentine's & Christmas purchases so much easier.
Amen u can do anything this girl got me tearing up god blessed her heart
I can feel her lovely energy from here

I love Mrs Kendra, she’s absolutely amazing.

Yassss Kendra with the motivation! And reppin TX beautifully! I’m not into jewelry like this but I love seeing women win. And she was spot on with the work place attitude. Every man I’ve worked for says that women are too emotional but that’s what makes us greater leaders. Love this!
