Steve Harvey Season 5 Episode 42 Steve Continues Jump Week! Platinum-Selling Artist Kelly Clarkson Talks Career & Family! Billionaire Founder of Spanx, Sara Blakely

Steve Harvey is back with another exciting episode of his popular talk show, and this time, it's all about jumping in headfirst! In Steve's signature segment, Jump Week, he encourages viewers to take the leap and pursue their dreams. And what better way to inspire viewers than by inviting two incredible women to share their stories of success?

First up, Steve welcomes Kelly Clarkson, the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter who shot to fame after winning the first season of American Idol. Not only has Kelly dominated the music industry with hit after hit, but she's also become a beloved television personality as a coach on The Voice. But as Steve and Kelly discuss, success hasn't always been easy for her. Kelly opens up about her childhood struggles, including her parents' divorce and being bullied at school.

But Kelly didn't give up on her dream of singing, even when it seemed impossible. She talks about the risks she took to pursue her passion, including moving to Los Angeles and living in her car for a time. And now, as a mother of four, Kelly is balancing her career with her family life, never losing sight of what's important. Steve and Kelly chat about her latest album, which she wrote during the pandemic and describes as her most personal yet.

Next, Steve sits down with Sara Blakely, the billionaire founder of Spanx. Sara's story is the epitome of jumping in headfirst: she started her successful shapewear company with just $5,000 and a single product idea. But as Sara tells Steve, she wasn't always destined for entrepreneurship. She started out selling fax machines door to door, but quickly realized that wasn't her passion. Instead, she dreamed of becoming a comedian and even moved to Hollywood to pursue that career. While she didn't make it as a stand-up, Sara credits that experience with giving her the confidence to take risks in business.

Sara takes Steve through her journey from idea to product development to selling Spanx out of her apartment. And she shares her advice for anyone looking to take the leap into entrepreneurship: "Just start." Sara emphasizes the importance of not waiting until everything is perfect or until you feel completely ready. Jump in and make it happen, she advises. And with that attitude, it's no wonder Sara has become one of the most successful women in business.

With two inspiring guests and plenty of encouragement from Steve, this episode is sure to inspire viewers to take their own leaps of faith. Whether it's pursuing a dream career or starting a business, there's no time like the present to jump in headfirst!
