What if the hardest rooms you've ever tried to enter were never meant to hold you in the first place? Nicole Pfister turned poverty, dysfunction, and exclusion in rural Alabama into rocket fuel—graduating college at 19, breaking into corporate leadership, and proving that being "too much" or "not enough" is exactly what makes you unstoppable. In this raw conversation, she unpacks her memoir Never Meant to Fit In, sharing the survival skills that became corporate superpowers and the framework (awareness, acceptance, alignment) for anyone ready to stop shrinking and start building their own table. This isn't a fairy tale—it's a masterclass in outlasting everyone who counted you out.
