From Red Carpet to Entrepreneurship: How Envy Can Be Your Success Compass
What if the very feeling we're taught to suppress—envy—is actually pointing us toward our destiny? In this revealing conversation with former Entertainment Tonight producer and UpLevel Agency founder Kaylee Hamilton, we uncover how transforming our relationship with envy can unlock unprecedented success.
Growing up in Colorado, Kaylee Hamilton was the definition of shy. While her classmates gave presentations, she could barely speak up in class. Yet something kept drawing her attention to Hollywood—not to become a star, but to understand them.
"I was fascinated by celebrities because they were the opposite of how I viewed myself," Hamilton reveals. "I couldn't fathom what it would be like to be on the world's biggest platform when I was too nervous to speak in front of my class."
Most success stories start with passion or talent. Hamilton's started with envy—and a revolutionary way of interpreting it. "Envy drives people," she explains, "and you don't have to look at it from a perspective of how it's bad. I always looked at envy as, okay, there's a reason why I feel this. It's because it's meant for me."
Hamilton's approach to high performance challenges conventional wisdom. Instead of adding more habits, she focuses on elimination. "Rather than adding things into your routine," she advises, "what I realize is really helpful is taking away that 80% that isn't moving the needle."
