We didn’t have supportive parents either and we are immigrants! I have two sisters that moved out at 14 and 16 yo. One is very successful (20mill range, 14 yo). I think it was due to my mother always saying she wouldn’t make anything out of herself. The other did exactly what mom did. Same place of employment, spends money which she doesn’t have. Just like mom! Myself and litter sister did pretty well too! In rental business (own), sister owns gym. She does personal training which she is always booked and has to turn people away. She has hired other trainers to take her overflow, while working on getting theirs off the ground. Nice to have a waiting list.

Same here 😔 Most of the people who are successful don't always realize what a strong foundation is to have good supportive and loving parents in order to become a successful and independent person. If you came from a poor background and had a difficult childhood and you manage to create your own business or success you should be so proud of yourself because you have really done it all on your own. This is someone to really admire.

Barbara is so relatable. She never lost that with all the money she worked so hard to accumulate. That’s a blessing.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.

Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

I love Barbara’s perspectives, she’s honestly so smart, and probably someone great to work with. Thanks for the interview Erika!

Wonderful talk! To get my first professional job I offered to work for free just to get some training, while still working 2 other part time jobs. That was the consequence of letting the wrong guy choose me and daring to walk around with a big belly at the age of 16, and then having to support both he and my child. My mishap and consequence therefore drove me, for like you Barbara, I was insulted by family stating they were surprised to see me even graduate. (I now have a handsome son, a beautiful DIL and 5 grandchildren and a second-chance husband of almost 30 years.) I learned anything and everything I could at any job to gain knowledge and to make myself indispensable. Now I’m basically debt free, earn a good living, have a solid asset & retirement portfolio. But I’ve also learned the importance of sewing into the kingdom and helping others, for you always reap what you sew. It’s important to give back. (I could go on and on…..) Thank you Lord! I love real. I love relatable. I have grown from this talk and you have confirmed something for me Barbara. Thank you both for sewing into my life. So much respect for you. Can’t imagine any haters coming against either of you. Hugs 🤗

Both Erika and Barbara are such an inspiration. They started small and look at where they are today!

What a fabulous human! I had no idea how interesting and inspiring Barbara is. I loved every story and listened to each minute. I love her perspective on leading and encouraging folx to do what they are good at, helping to grow their best skills. So nice to hear her honesty about parenting and her own finances!

Barbara I love that shirt. I hope you interview her again. She’s amazing. Blunt and honest. “The curse of a learning disability is if you can get over it you have gotten really good at failure. You grow up and knowing what failure is about.” I’ve never thought about it that way. That statement truly impacted me. A statement I will never forget. I’ll have to get Tic Tock now hahahaha “You just have to make a fool of yourself”. Barbara, I want to be like you when I grow up.

Honestly success is the best revenge! After I got my second divorce I got a good job, bought a house and a new car! It's amazing what you can accomplish when we get motivated! 👏💅

Good to see a different side of Shark Tank Barbara. She's one of the good ones. Love that she showed up in your podcast and supporting women entrepreneurship.

I really appreciate what a respectful interviewer you are.

Thank God this channel was recommended to me by youtube. Love the conversation between barbara and erica. Got goosebumps when barbara said " you are stronger than you think you are". Thank you to both of you for giving me hope in this crazy life of mine. ❤

I love how down to earth and real she is.

I love this so much! GREAT job Erika! I took 1500 and starting a 25 million dollar business a year - in 6 years. My business was then acquired for 8 figures by the age of 29! It was worth the grind!

My rough childhood (school mostly) was also the reason I did everything in my power to as successful as I am today. Insult was a great motivator for me too, Barbara. Thank you for sharing your story

Love Barbara! She is so real and kind.

Today is the first time that I actually sat, watched and listened intently to your podcast, Erica. You are very entertaining and have interesting guests, but Barbara Corcoran is absolutely magnetic. Ms Corcoran is so relatable to the everyday person . She instantly draws you into her world ,; from childhood to her successful life. I wish that I was young again to enjoy the trials and tribulations and have her confidence. I laughed out loud as I picture a confident person wearing a brand new coat! Great podcast Erica. Congratulations to you.

Thank you Erika, for bringing on such an amazing guest. And thank you Barbara, for the beautiful words of reassurance.

Wonderful interview. You alouded Barbara to talk, which was great. Many other people do interviews and talk over the person being interviewed and not really aloud them to answer the questions. Thank you, that was a lovely interview.

Finding success on the heels of failure...that's an important statement that I will take with me going forward. As an Attorney, a woman and an entrepreneur, dealing with failure has always been my greatest challenge. Excellent podcast. Blessings.

I really appreciate that she said find something you're good at, rather than find your passion. These could definitely intersect and overlap, but what you're good at could fund your passion (it might not be the case that a passion can be turned into a means of making money).

Excellent interview!! You’re so relaxed, so prepared, and you seem to be enjoying your guest! I’m subscribing and anxious to watch your next video!!

So happy you moved this to the main channel! Love it

Barbara is awesome! ⚘️ And so are you, Erika! 🌷 Thank you for the great podcast! ❤

I didn’t know much about her, but her story is very similar to mine (minus the millions 😂). I wasn’t just cheated on, but had an attempt on my life. Had a husband who always said I’m stupid, you’re nothing without me blablabla… that only gives me the courage to live on and move on. I am definitely stronger than I ever thought I’d be. I actually thank for everything that happened to me. You only know how strong and capable you are when there’s no alternative left.

You hit it out of the park, again. Knowing that others, who we respect, have made it through storms, and, from them, found the strength and insight, to success, is encouraging.

I always love listening to Mrs Corcoran ❤

Barbara is real. She never puts on airs. I liked her on Shark Tank but I wasn’t sure why. Now I know why. She is real. Her comment that being in business isn’t about the money but about building a team and seeing how far you can go together touched me. I also thought that her comment was really more about who Barbara is than anything else. She would be cool, IMO, even if she weren’t as “successful” as she is.

This interview had impact and your questioning was great as you unearthed gems. Great Job!

I fell in love with Barbara for her openness, sincerity and honesty. She was down to earth and direct in her answers. Good on you Barbara. Love ya Charlie

Barbara invested in a restaurant (on Shark Tank) in Alexandria, Virginia not far from where the new Amazon headquarters is located. I had worked especially hard one week so went there to end the work week and was disappointed when I learned that she no longer supported the restaurant but that she did continue supporting their barbecue sauce. The impression that was given is that her investment money was being used to open other restaurants which was not part of the original deal. Barbara is exceptionally bright and did the correct thing. Please don't let a bankrupt education system tell you otherwise, Barbara !!!

WOW...WHAT AN AMAZING WOMEN!! I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT MYSELF FROM HEARING BARBARA'S INCREDIBLE STORY. I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO !! THANK YOU

Great conversation and I definitely learned a few things. Thanks 😊

I'm 70 and I agree with Barbara, I've admired her for years , not for her wealth but for her grit and for her philosophy regarding her business strategy.Of course let's just say wealth never herts it's a plus

Great conversation, so clear and informative

Thanks Erika. I don’t know Shark Tank because I don’t have TV. But I saw a short video of a KZreadr touring her apartment. And so the algorithm presented this interview. I’ll look for episodes of it later to see what I can glean. I relate to her starting from a large working class family , working from age 13. My father called me the entrepreneur which is a memory I cherish. Barbara mentioned it’s not about the money so much anymore- and I would like to recommend a book I read recently. Title: From Strength to Strength. The description of it on Amazon is terrible but don’t let that deter anyone. I’m nowhere near retiring but it was full of things for people of all ages to consider and prepare for. Some of it is about sharing the wisdom that comes from experience. I hope Barbara will talk more about how we can better ourselves and our lives. I know how to work hard and I do it-but not smart. For example-How do you find trustworthy people to teach us how to work on the “paperwork” of our businesses? Best wishes to both of you.

The second to last sentence was everything.
