About this episode

Barbara Corcoran shares her journey from being left by her boyfriend to building a $66 million real estate empire and discusses key traits of successful entrepreneurs.

Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran's boyfriend loaned her $1,000 to start a business, left her for a younger woman, and told her she'd never succeed without him — she turned that insult into a $66 million real estate empire. She breaks down the three traits every successful entrepreneur shares, how she rewired the "tape" in her head at 35, and why she still bets on people with unhealthy childhoods.
