Inventor and Media Personality Raquel Graham of Roq Innovation - The Belief That You Must

  • Summary

  • Raquel Graham makes things happen. She's a problem-solver, an investor, and creative entrepreneur. During a polar vortex in Chicago, she couldn't get her kids to put on their scarves even with the sub-zero weather, inspiring her to invent a new kind of scarf that's grown to a multi million dollar business that's been featured on the Home Shopping Network. She later added a beanie with an LED light for bikers and runners at night, and has more problem-solving products on the way. But right as her business was taking off she found herself in the hospital with a lung infection that no doctor could diagnose. Ultimately she suffered a stroke and had a near-death experience that forever changed her. She spent months recovering and even had to relearn to walk. Raquel's powerful mindset helped her to will herself out of the hospital bed, onto the airwaves with HSN, into a licensing deal with 40 NCAA colleges, in Oprah magazine, and selling countless units of her amazing products, all in just five years. Raquel shares her journey with Julia Pimsleur including: how a Brene Brown book, and the desire to be home with her new baby, inspired Raquel to start her own business and jump from the sidelines into the arena; why Raquel had to battle doctors to be believed that she was seriously ill; why she never told HSN about her near-death experience; her challenges in growing her business to the next level; and why Raquel’s health saved her, at the very moment it failed her.
