Brian Smith on UGG, Timing, and Trusting the Slow Burn of Success

In this episode of My First Step to Success, I sit down with Brian Smith — founder of UGG, the iconic sheepskin boot brand that became a global sensation. But long before the billion-dollar valuation, Brian faced years of rejection, slow sales, and moments where giving up felt like the only option. We talk about: * The real first step that started UGG (hint: it wasn’t glamorous) * Why most entrepreneurs quit too soon * The power of “baby steps” in business — and life * How timing, intuition, and persistence shaped his success * The surprising spiritual lesson he learned through it all This conversation is honest, wise, and quietly powerful — especially if you're in a season where things feel slow or stuck. Brian reminds us that struggle isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign you’ve started.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
