00:00:01
She was extraordinary. Um, my mother taught me a lot about just like bringing intention to what you do.
00:00:17
Bringing sorry and being the child of accomplished parents. Most people thought that I
00:00:23
would lack the ambition, the preparedness, but my mother taught me that being underestimated is not a bad
00:00:29
thing. It's very powerful thing actually and it almost always worked to the detriment of the person who
00:00:35
underestimated me. >> From real estate to her own multi-million dollar fashion line,
00:00:39
Ivanka Trump continues to carve her own path into the business world, succeeding
00:00:43
at every turn. >> And then you learn two weeks before he announces your father decides he wants
00:00:49
to be president of the United States. Did you have any sense that this was at all on the horizon?
00:00:53
>> Not really. And then when he pulled the trigger, it was full steam. Well, most

Why did you? >> He asked us for help. He's like, "But I have to warn you, they're going to come
00:01:04
at you hard. They're probably going to hate you." But one of the things I've
00:01:07
learned in moments of tremendous pressure and scrutiny where any slip up is completely weaponized against you is
00:01:14
to find the signal in the noise. I just don't get distracted by the outside noise. That's probably the thing that
00:01:20
has been most helpful to me in terms of performance and success because you have
00:01:25
a choice only in how you respond. >> You've said politics is a pretty dark
00:01:29
world. This is quite a difficult question to ask, but when you heard the news that there was an assassination
00:01:33
attempt on your father's life, do you remember where you were and like what's
00:01:36
that like as a daughter?
