00:00:01
She was extraordinary.
00:00:10
Um, my mother taught me a lot about just
00:00:13
like
00:00:15
bringing intention to what you do.
00:00:17
Bringing sorry
00:00:20
and being the child of accomplished
00:00:22
parents. Most people thought that I
00:00:23
would lack the ambition, the
00:00:25
preparedness, but my mother taught me
00:00:27
that being underestimated is not a bad
00:00:29
thing. It's very powerful thing actually
00:00:31
and it almost always worked to the
00:00:34
detriment of the person who
00:00:35
underestimated me.
00:00:36
>> From real estate to her own
00:00:38
multi-million dollar fashion line,
00:00:39
Ivanka Trump continues to carve her own
00:00:42
path into the business world, succeeding
00:00:43
at every turn.
00:00:45
>> And then you learn two weeks before he
00:00:47
announces your father decides he wants
00:00:49
to be president of the United States.
00:00:50
Did you have any sense that this was at
00:00:52
all on the horizon?
00:00:53
>> Not really. And then when he pulled the
00:00:54
trigger, it was full steam. Well, most
00:00:56
people wouldn't give up an $800 million
00:00:58
annual business to go into government.
00:01:00
Why did you?
00:01:01
>> He asked us for help. He's like, "But I
00:01:03
have to warn you, they're going to come
00:01:04
at you hard. They're probably going to
00:01:06
hate you." But one of the things I've
00:01:07
learned in moments of tremendous
00:01:09
pressure and scrutiny where any slip up
00:01:12
is completely weaponized against you is
00:01:14
to find the signal in the noise. I just
00:01:16
don't get distracted by the outside
00:01:18
noise. That's probably the thing that
00:01:20
has been most helpful to me in terms of
00:01:22
performance and success because you have
00:01:25
a choice only in how you respond.
00:01:27
>> You've said politics is a pretty dark
00:01:29
world. This is quite a difficult
00:01:30
question to ask, but when you heard the
00:01:32
news that there was an assassination
00:01:33
attempt on your father's life, do you
00:01:35
remember where you were and like what's
00:01:36
that like as a daughter?
