In this episode of Earn Your Leisure, Pinky Cole addresses the headlines head-on—clearing up bankruptcy rumors, explaining how she won her property back after creditors illegally changed the locks, and breaking down what really happens when a $100M business faces setbacks. She shares how losing everything became a lesson not just for her, but for others watching her journey.

The conversation goes deeper into what it actually takes to build and sustain a business. Pinky explains the two engines every entrepreneur needs, why operations are everything, and how many founders fail by skipping steps, lacking structure, or keeping people past their expiration date. It’s a real look at how social media has changed the game—and not always for the better.

We also tap into the emotional side of entrepreneurship—having the right people around you, pushing through dark times, and still showing up for others. From supporting her husband while navigating her own challenges to staying focused on building a billion-dollar company, this is a raw and honest conversation about resilience, growth, and doing whatever it takes to win.
