What happens when your company raises $27 million, employs 220 people across four countries, and still fails? Most entrepreneurs bury these stories, rewriting history once they've achieved their next success. But Jodie Fox chose radical transparency instead. Her journey with Shoes of Prey-a revolutionary platform allowing women to design custom footwear online-represents the entrepreneurial dream in its rawest form. This isn't a sanitized success story retrofitted with wisdom. It's the messy, beautiful, heartbreaking truth about building something from nothing, watching it soar, and ultimately letting it go. What makes Fox's story essential reading is her willingness to document not just what worked, but what didn't-and more importantly, what it cost her personally to find out. Fox's journey didn't begin with entrepreneurship. It started with a profound misalignment between who she was and what she'd chosen to become. Despite gravitating toward creative pursuits, she selected law for its stability and prestige. University became torture-sleeping until afternoon, surviving on six cups of coffee daily, barely passing courses. After landing at a prestigious law firm, she felt like an impostor every single day.
