Kendra Scott rose to fame right here in Austin, building what is now a billion-dollar jewelry company. But there's more to her story than business success. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Texas Monthly contributor Dina Gachman, who recently wrote about Scott, to talk about her power and influence in Austin, why the city was fertile ground for growing her brand, and why giving back has always been a core part of the Kendra Scott business.
