Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on October 17, 2017. Fired twice in her 20s, Sarah Robb O’Hagan struggled with a nearly constant fear of being fired and fought to find her lane. She learned how to persevere in times of trouble and she pushed herself to improve daily. And ultimately, by the time she was 38, she was the global president of a $5 billion company, leading its successful turnaround and reinvention. She held other executive positions throughout her career such as the Marketing Director at Virgin and Nike and the President of Gatorade and Equinox.
