Jennifer Garner on What Only Time Can Teach You

Jennifer Garner is an award-winning actor, producer, longtime Save the Children ambassador, and co-founder of Once Upon a Farm, an organic children’s food brand. After rising to fame on Alias, she built a career spanning more than three decades before entering entrepreneurship at 45 and helping grow Once Upon a Farm into a $724 million publicly traded company.

Jennifer joins Emma to talk about the side of success people rarely see: losing years of her life when Alias made her famous, disappearing from friendships, and how the constant presence of paparazzi warped her confidence. 

Jennifer shares:

• What Jennifer is only now realizing about approval and earning her place
• How years of rejection and several failed ideas prepared her for entrepreneurship
• What she’s learned about holding anger without burying it
• How to recognize the value you bring without conventional qualifications
• When fame and visibility can help a business, and where they cannot
• What it actually looks like to protect a company’s mission
• Why your biggest chapter doesn’t come with an age limit
