About this episode

Benny Blanco joins Jenna Bush Hager to talk about his new book and why embracing failure can help you become braver, more confident and successful. Benny opens up about chasing his dreams from a young age, learning from rejection, putting yourself out there and why the moment you quit is the moment you guarantee you won’t succeed. He also shares the story of how he knew Selena Gomez was the one, the lessons he’s learned about love and partnership, and why being yourself is always worth the risk.
