Synopsis
In a world where “charge what you’re worth” and “raise your prices” dominate the entrepreneurial conversation, Kelly is flipping the script with a reality check: In this episode, she reveals why some of her biggest business wins — from stage appearances to multi-million-dollar brand growth — came not from getting paid upfront, but from playing the long game.
