Description
The Start With Yourself Tour
This spring, serial entrepreneur and podcast host Emma Grede takes her debut book, Start With Yourself, on tour — a live experience inviting audiences to rethink how to approach their goals and build the future they want.
As the woman behind some of today’s most influential consumer brands, Emma Grede has become a defining voice of modern leadership. Beyond her businesses, Grede—a mother of four—champions initiatives that expand opportunity and create lasting community impact. In her debut book, she explores how real success begins with a mindset shift and a willingness to take responsibility for your own growth, offering practical tools for aligning the vision you hold for yourself with the choices you make every day.
The Start With Yourself tour is a series of live, intimate conversations where Emma, along with special guests and the audience, will dive into what it truly means to live and lead with intention. Drawing from her own journey of failures, reinventions, and hard-earned wins, she explores how personal resilience is built, why accountability and self-advocacy are skills that must be learned, and how ambition requires both discipline and self-trust.
Audiences can expect unfiltered honesty, sharp insights, laughs, and a masterclass in mindset shifts that dismantle outdated ideas about leadership, motivation, and worthiness. This is not a tour about quick wins or surface-level inspiration, it’s about learning about how to do the internal work that changes how you move through the world.
