In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Real life stories
No made up BS. I have been following Bethenny for years and these stories are great details behind the images. She is a real woman sharing excellent business knowledge. My favorite is the bathing suit story. The lesson here is that you must trust your gut and fight for the right things; push back when it is the right thing to do.
