In this powerful and inspiring episode, James Dakin sits down with Talia Fox — a dynamic author, acclaimed speaker, and fearless trailblazer — to explore her extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to the highest levels of leadership.
Raised in Las Vegas in a struggling family, Talia began supporting her father's small business at just eight years old, stepping in to help with tasks he couldn’t manage due to his inability to read. This early responsibility shaped her resilience, work ethic, and fierce sense of purpose.
Talia shares how these formative experiences laid the foundation for a ground breaking career that led her to helm a major company, secure critical contracts with the Federal Government, and work directly with the White House. Her story is one of grit, transformation, and breaking barriers — especially for women and underrepresented voices in leadership.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, or simply someone who values stories of perseverance and vision, this conversation offers insight, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that your starting point does not determine your destination.
