We close out Season 6 with the story of perhaps the single most
successful media entrepreneur of all-time: Oprah Winfrey, and her
juggernaut conglomerate Harpo Studios. Born to a poor single
mother in the segregated 1950's deep south, Oprah's rise from
terrible adversity to wealthiest Black woman in the world ranks
among the very greatest American success stories. And oh yeah —
along the way she single-handedly created the entire influencer
economy, rewrote the blueprint of a modern power broker, and set
the world record for most cars given away at one time (276). Sit
back, listen and get ready to live your best life.
