Embracing The Fall with Carla Hall

SIMON SINEK
About this episode

When you show up with love and aim only to give of yourself, everyone you interact with can feel it.

Carla Hall has led a life and a career filled with zigs and zags. The two-time Top Chef contestant and current cooking contributor for Good Morning America went from accountant, to model, to author, to chef. She has done it all and shown up with love at every opportunity. She’s living proof that when you make decisions out of love—both for yourself and others—even your falls can be beautiful.

This is… A Bit of Optimism.
