Imagine this -- You form a band with your best friends in high school and start making music. But then when high school ends you commit to each other to really go for it. And you make it. BIG. You play the hottest clubs in Vegas. You tour the world with thousands of screaming fans coming to your shows. You're being paid to do what you love most. But then really hard stuff happens. Your band loses a member. People say awful things about you on the internet. You get into a lawsuit. What do you do then? That's just one of the topics we get into on this amazing episode of The School of Greatness. I met the sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf, the rock duo known as Krewella, a few months ago and immediately knew they had to come on the podcast. Not just because I was obsessed with one of their songs while writing my book, but because their energy was amazing and I knew they had a lot of wisdom to share. I was not wrong and they came to the studio last week to record an episode. We talked a lot about family (no surprise, this is huge for them), staying grounded, enjoying the present, and fighting fear and self-doubt. No matter if you're into their music or not, you will learn a lot about what true success looks like in Episode 355 with Krewella.
