Kendall, it is so wonderful to be here with you today.

Thank you for joining me.

Thanks for having me.

I'm happy to be here. Of course.

So you are a household name.

Everyone, I think, knows you've had a successful modeling career.

What made you want to take the leap into entrepreneurship?

I think I always felt a really strong passion for it.

Obviously, I come from a family of a bunch of entrepreneurs.

So I think it felt really natural for me.

I felt like I was in a place in my modeling

career as I was in the world as it was coming up on maybe nine, now almost 10 years, where I was just really ready for something new

and kind of to take control of my own business in a way.

So I was really excited for it.

I always felt really drawn to it.

I just wanted to be really intentional with what I was going to go for.

And I honestly think it was nice to take the time

and to kind of mature within myself and grow and get older

and realize what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be and feel like I was ready for that step.

So I felt really ready and it's almost indescribable.

I think I gave you some words, but it's kind of a moment where you just wake up and you're like, okay, I feel like I'm really ready for this point in my life.

So that's so cool.

And I going along with that, I've always thought like out of every single product or thing that you could have chosen, why did you decide to start with tequila?

Oh, and I love tequila.

Yeah.

Well, there you go.

I feel like it was, it was a lot of that.

Obviously I was a fan as a consumer of tequila.

And so I really loved it.

And when I kind of, I mean, it's to make a long story short, I guess it was, it was something that was always my mom and my dad drank it all the time growing up.

I always heard about it.

And then, you know, as I got older and I would start drinking it, I kind of was like loving playing around with as a consumer, tasting different tequilas, loving different tequilas,

kind of just loving the space again as a consumer, not knowing too much about the ins and outs of it

and found myself really excited about it and really passionate about it for, I call it destiny.

I'm just like, I don't know why, but it all, all of a sudden kind of, I fell in love with it.

I fell in love with the space and really was kind of looking at all angles.

And then one day thought it would be really fun to, to have a tequila for me and my friends.

It kind of started there as the smaller idea.

And then one thing led to the next

and I had a whole team behind me and I found partners

and founders that also really wanted to be a part of the space.

And then we then grew obviously we didn't know much about making tequila

so we had to find the experts and we're our team from there

and um that's kind of the really quick version of how it came to be

and how i got excited about it

but it was it was basically me just being a fan of the space

and really enjoying seeing products that i had seen on the shelves

and enjoying them and thinking oh this would be really really fun for me

and my friends to have something and then it grew into this whole situation

that we have now awesome when you talk about this great team

that you built can Can you describe

that a little bit about the people who you surround yourself with who help your business and how that works?

Yeah, I mean, I think that's obviously one of the most important things in any business is surrounding yourself with people

that know that they're the best at what they do.

And I think we were really eager to find those people.

And I feel we did.

Our team is so amazing.

And we're small but mighty, I'd say, still.

And we definitely started really small but mighty.

but we really went after some big players, I guess, in the industry who've been around for 40 plus years who really know what they're doing.

And I feel very lucky and blessed that they took the leap of faith

and the jump and they took the risk to come be with us on our team.

And it's just really worked out really well.

And I lean on them for so much information and so much knowledge, and I've learned so much from them.

So I just feel really grateful to have had them on our team.

And yeah, it's been really cool.

That's awesome.

And there's so many of these celebrity tequila brands out there, you know, Rita Ora, George Clooney, The Rock, a lot of different people.

Were you nervous about standing out in a crowded industry?

And how do you set yourself apart?

I consider that, like, I consider that a healthy challenge.

Like, I think we were really ready.

We obviously know that there's a lot of amazing brands on the market and amazing tequila on the market. So

for us it just made us want to be better

and this was not something that someone came to me with an idea

or a brand that was already in development

and wanted me to join this was completely my idea from the jump

and a startup complete ground up process and so I feel like for

that reason alone I really wanted I would never have done

this had I not put not only 100% of my energy and my love into it, but also really made it an amazing product.

Like I really wanted premium liquid.

I wanted amazing packaging.

I wanted all the things to line up really beautifully.

So I think that for me, it was just a big part of like, obviously standing out is a huge thing for it as well because there are a lot of other brands,

but I think that, I don't know, I just, I wanted it to feel 100%.

And I think that that only drove me to feel like we had to be at the best of our, top of our game basically knowing that there was other great products out there absolutely

and one of the things that i always read about 818

and that i think is really cool is that it's a family owned

and operated distillery in mexico tell me about production how involved

are you talk to me about the the process i am

involved every step of the way my hand is pretty much

in every aspect of the business obviously i don't physically make the tequila right but i i'm involved in everything Yeah, we're partnered with an amazing distillery, Grupo Salave.

They are run by the Perez family.

They're amazing.

I'm obsessed with them.

Just like the sweetest, kindest people.

And we got really lucky.

I think that what was really cool about Grupo Solave was coming into their distillery

and realizing they had so many things that aligned with us at 818.

100

And the biggest thing was their sustainability efforts.

101

And my involvement is all around, like I'm involved in everything.

102

We have weekly Zoom calls

103

and we're on the phone with every single person on our team pretty much all the executives

104

and we're talking creative and all any type of business conversation

105

and we're pretty much all around the board

106

and i'm always getting updates on what's going on down at the distillery

107

and all the things so and obviously i'm visiting pretty frequently as well

108

so i'm sure i feel really grateful

109

because like i said about having a great team like the perez family is just amazing

110

and being partnered with this distillery is probably like i feel

111

so blessed and i feel so like honored that we're part of their system and they're They're just amazing.

112

So that's great.

113

Yeah.

114

Now, you mentioned at the beginning of this interview, you come from a family of entrepreneurs.

115

That's clear.

116

Your sisters all have their own businesses.

117

How do you stand out?

118

And what is the Kendall brand that you're trying to go for?

119

I mean, I think that we all have our own vibe, our own personalities.

120

My sisters and I, my family and I.

121

And I don't know.

122

I feel that I've probably said this before a million times in other just interviews

123

but like I feel like since I was a kid, I kind of always was a little bit like and not to say that either is good or bad.

124

It was just I was always a little different.

125

I was always kind of sportier and maybe not as girly or, you know, stuff like that.

126

So I just always felt like I had a little bit of a different path or something.

127

And then, yeah, I don't I don't think that any of it means one thing or the other.

128

I just think that my path led me here.

129

And I think that it feels really fitting for me and I really enjoy it.

130

But it's interesting because I can ask for advice all day long from the people that have my sisters who've done, you know, have made their own businesses and stuff like that.

131

But I feel like there's still some differences just obviously within the industries.

132

So did you ever.

133

I think I wanted to challenge myself.

134

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask.

135

Like, did you feel a pressure at all to like, all right, I've got to be an entrepreneur.

136

I got to be a founder because I don't think I felt pressure.

137

I think I was really excited about it.

138

I think like we said earlier, like my mom, my grandma, my sisters, they all kind of were those entrepreneurs, had that great spirit.

139

And so I really just followed their lead.

140

I think it was like kind of natural in a sense.

141

And it felt just right.

142

I don't know.

143

It felt really good.

144

Yeah.

145

That's awesome.

146

Describe how you spend your time these days.

147

Like, is it mostly 818?

148

Is it filming Kardashians?

149

Is it modeling?

150

Talk, walk me through that.

151

It's a bit of everything.

152

It's like a good, it's a good mixture of all um i think my main focus is my business is 818 um

153

but i i still have so much fun modeling

154

and doing all those amazing things so i think

155

that i find time for everything sometimes it gets a little

156

overwhelming make aka maybe this next these next couple weeks

157

but i i really don't take it for granted and i think

158

that i i love working and i love staying busy and

159

so i really enjoy it and i and i i'm a lucky lucky gal

160

and i get to do all these fun things

161

that were dreams of mine as since a young kid

162

so i'm really happy that's amazing

163

and speaking of things you do um everyone knows you love horses

164

and that's a hobby of yours is there any little known thing

165

that people don't know about you

166

that you do in your spare time i'm like a big

167

chiller i don't really do much chilling is great i chill

168

i love like i love sporty things like i love anything

169

because i feel like i just kind of grew up with a sporty gal i love getting outside and I don't know.

170

I was I'm trying to think of anything sporty.

171

I like just I like we we ride around and we do like wake surfing like at this lake before we go.

172

It's just like all this fun stuff.

173

So I just love anything adventurous and outdoorsy.

174

But like that's fine.

175

I'm pretty boring.

176

I swear I'm pretty boring.

177

Well that leads into my next question.

178

It's like I feel like you know you've been sharing everything your whole life.

179

Is there anything that's too personal that you're saying like I won't share this at all.

180

Yeah I mean I have a lot of that.

181

I'm like very much

182

I like like to keep private stuff private personal stuff private

183

I just I don't know I've always kind of been

184

that way even since I was a kid like before anything

185

like I just always was kind of like it's my business

186

and nobody else's so it's just always kind of been my motto speaking of

187

that I think people also again feel like they know you

188

because they see this one side of you that's out there is there a part of you

189

that people don't see that you wish

190

that they saw yeah I mean I think

191

that that's kind of the tricky part about wanting to keep

192

a private life is I think it gives more room for people to create a narrative for you

193

and think that they they can kind of put you in this place

194

or in this box and be like okay she's this girl

195

because maybe they've seen one or two things

196

that they think has convinced them of an entire lifestyle of mine

197

so that can get frustrating I think at times

198

when you're like it's not not accurate whatsoever but it's okay

199

so I think that that's where I get a little conflicted in like, okay, I want to be as private as I possibly can for my own sanity and mental well-being.

200

And it just makes me happy, I think, to keep things sacred and safe.

201

So I just, and then I'm like, okay, well then that also leaves a little bit more room for people to create their own narratives.

202

But I think I've accepted that and I know

203

that the people around me and the people that love me

204

and the people that I want to know those things about me, my quirky side, my silly side, my freaky weird sides, like all those things I think

205

that I all my special people around me know

206

and yeah I'm happy with that that's that's that's all I can ask for honestly

207

and you know famous families they come and go

208

but none has really had the viral staying power

209

that your family has why do you think that is I don't know I guess I Like,

210

I think that it's obviously a special kind of maybe once in a few decades, once in a century thing.

211

But it's obviously, there's something.

212

I mean, it's like hard for me to answer that question.

213

But we're wild and we're funny and we're crazy.

214

But at the same time, I think behind it all, like the main energy behind it all is love.

215

And we just like have so much love for each other.

216

We stand by each other.

217

And I think that maybe that's it.

218

I can't really fully answer the question.

219

No, that's a good thought.

220

I guess that's what I try and equate it to, I guess.

221

So for a lot of the under 30 founders that I talk with, a big problem is imposter syndrome.

222

They don't feel like, you know, I'm empowered to be a founder.

223

I'm too young.

224

I'm too ex.

225

But you, it's times 100 since you're in the public eye.

226

Did you ever feel this way?

227

And how did you get around that?

228

Yeah, I think I feel it a lot.

229

I think there's a lot of pressure being one in the spotlight, but then also obviously running a business, a business of your own.

230

So I think that I've felt that at times for sure.

231

I think I always try and like I'm as corny as it sounds, I'm a big affirmations person.

232

So I'm always trying to talk up to myself

233

and talk kindly to myself and remind myself

234

that I'm worthy of all the things and that everything is placed in my life for a reason and all the things.

235

So I feel like and I do feel prepared.

236

I do feel really like kind of what I was mentioning in the beginning.

237

I feel like a lot of where I was in my life

238

when I made this decision was at a place where I felt like I was ready.

239

And I also felt like I was just meant to be here at that time.

240

So sorry to get a little spiritual, but I just feel like that those feelings genuinely helped me get through those moments of imposter syndrome.

241

And I think, yeah.

242

That's helpful.

243

I hope that answered your question.

244

I think that if you weren't already famous, if you weren't already a celebrity, do you think you would have still gone and been an entrepreneur?

245

Yeah, I feel like I have kind of that like work fighter mentality.

246

And I think that I have a lot of drive in that sense.

247

So I do think that probably something would have come along.

248

I think about that all the time because I'm like, where would I have been had I not been doing this?

249

And there's never really obviously super clear answers because it's the unknown.

250

But I do feel like I'd probably have some sort of, I don't know, I'd be like an interior design or something.

251

I like that.

252

So I feel like just naturally I maybe would have ended up somewhere like that.

253

That's really cool.

254

Yeah, you never know.

255

Do you have one business rule that you operate by always, no matter what?

256

I think a lot of it has to do with trust your gut.

257

And I think that also surrounding yourself, which we've also kind of talked about a little bit here, but surrounding yourself with people who you really trust

258

and who you feel really like specialize in a certain place that you might need that like uplifting help.

259

And I think that, you know, just the pros and like people that are really smart and want to feed you great advice and have your back genuinely.

260

I think that that's all super, super important.

261

So your environment and all the things, but also your gut.

262

That's probably the biggest thing for me is following my gut.

263

That's a great piece of advice.

264

And speaking of business.

265

So for you, your family is really synonymous with business.

266

How do you separate your family time versus the financial?

267

How do you navigate that dynamic?

268

It's so funny you ask, because obviously my mom is my mom, but she's also my manager.

269

So we have moments when we're talking on the phone and we're talking about business, and we're maybe having a heated conversation about something.

270

And then all of a sudden, she's like, okay, I love you.

271

How are you feeling today?

272

And I'm like, oh my God, yeah, you're my mom too.

273

And then we'll go talk about something else, like a bad day or whatever, very mom stuff, mom-daughter related things.

274

So there is that, that sometimes there can be confusing moments where I'll come over to my mom's house on a Sunday

275

and she just wants to chill and I just want to chill

276

and then we end up getting in these debates about work stuff or whatever we end up talking about.

277

And I'm like, but it's Sunday, we should just be mom and daughter right now.

278

So we have our moments, but at the end of the day, I think we're really good at compartmentalizing.

279

I think all of us are.

280

we're all pretty pretty pro not to toot our horns

281

but we're pretty pro

282

and I think we get we get the separation between like work fam time

283

and business time and all those things that makes sense yeah

284

and speaking of you and working brands so 818 is definitely your big business

285

but the other business I think is is you as Kendall how do you decide

286

which brands and posts to to be sponsored or who do you decide to work with?

287

That's also very intentional for me.

288

Like I find myself to be a very intentional person.

289

So anytime I'm like working with a brand or creating a brand or just doing something that is genuinely me,

290

obviously everything has to feel super authentic to me.

291

But again, super intentional.

292

Like I don't wanna do anything that doesn't align with my vibes

293

or my morals or my feelings and things that really make me feel good.

294

and make me feel like getting excited to wake up in the morning.

295

And I had to work to get to that place.

296

It wasn't always that easy.

297

I can't just say yes and no to everything.

298

I can't say no to a lot of things, especially 10 years ago when I was starting.

299

You know, it was a lot of yeses and a lot of not only feeling grateful to be in that position, but just feeling like, you know,

300

I wanted to build up my portfolio and my career and all the things.

301

But now I think I have the blessing of being able to say, okay, does that align with me?

302

And I wake up a really happy person because of that.

303

And so that's been something that I, you know, kind of had to find.

304

I don't think that came super naturally.

305

There was a rough patch where I was like, I'm saying yes to a lot.

306

Do I need to say yes to all this?

307

And so finding that happy middle and finding the blessing in that is also really important for me.

308

That's great.

309

And talk to me about what's coming up for you next in 2024.

310

What projects excite you right now?

311

I mean, I have stuff on the rise for sure.

312

And I'm very excited about a lot of things.

313

But I'm also, I love to live in the present.

314

And I think that I'm really just trying to hone in on obviously, although 818 is two and a half years old, I'm trying to also still live.

315

She's pretty young.

316

She's a baby.

317

So I'm still trying to live here and just enjoy it

318

and also put a lot of my energy and my focus into it

319

because I want to build it up to be amazing and really great.

320

So a lot of my energy is there and I think I'm just kind of focusing on that.

321

But I do have things that always are flowing through my head.

322

I cannot wait to hear about them at some point in the future.

323

Now going back to you as a founder and 818, can you describe for me the biggest challenges you faced while being a first time founder?

324

I think obviously there's a learning curve and there's a lot of things that you pick up on.

325

And obviously, I think one of the biggest things for me was going from being, you know, you wake up as a model,

326

you wake up every morning and you're almost playing a character, you're doing what you're told, you're following instruction, you're on set, you're following what the photographer wants, what the creative director wants,

327

you're wearing what the stylist tells you, all those things, which is, again, super blessed to be in the position that I was in.

328

I've worked with some of the best people of all time in fashion, so I'm really, really happy to have learned everything and absorbed everything that I have.

329

But I think what was really cool and a bit of a learning curve, and it kind of goes into that, like, imposter syndrome thing where I was like, oh, wait, I'm the boss?

330

Like, when I started 818, it was a little bit like, oh, my God, like, I can call the shots.

331

I can say this.

332

I can make the bottle look like whatever I want the bottle to look like.

333

And I can have the liquid taste the way that we all love the liquid to taste.

334

So it just felt cool to be kind of in the captain's seat for a second.

335

I mean, not for a second.

336

I'm still there but it felt nice to be in the captain seat

337

and um i think that was a big shift for me there was obviously a learning curve

338

and then also recognizing that being the leader

339

and being the like the boss i guess was also setting a tone for the rest of the team

340

and so you know having that positive energy walking into a room

341

and having that good vibe is always gonna like end up reflecting on the entire team

342

and what comes out of the product and all the things so yeah not really no but it But it's been really, really cool and such an experience.

343

And there's challenges and obviously like being a female founder in a predominantly male-dominated space.

344

Like all those things have obviously affected certain things.

345

But we take those as like positive challenges and we just want to become, it strives, we strive to be the best version of ourselves at 818.

346

And like it just honestly sets the bar higher and we like love those kinds of challenges. So, yeah.

347

So you touched on this a little bit, but speaking of challenges, I know when you first launched the brand, there was some criticism about cultural appropriation.

348

How did you navigate that and how would you address those critics today?

349

We obviously learned, we take notes and we move forward.

350

I think that we addressed it at the time

351

and we learned from that experience and we love the consumer feedback and all those things.

352

So we really took that, took the time to recognize and moved forward and only wanted to better our brand from that.

353

Awesome.

354

And Kendall, I have two more questions for you.

355

The first being, if you could go back in time

356

and tell your younger self something before Keeping It With Kardashians premiered what would you say to the Kendall

357

and what advice would you have.

358

I think advice would be like stop and smell the roses

359

when you can as cheesy as that sounds

360

but I would also tell her

361

that like enjoy the ride it's going to be like a

362

beautiful one there's going to be ups there's going to be downs

363

but like everything's going to be okay in the end and yeah.

364

Amazing.

365

Good advice for anyone honestly.

366

And finally ending on a bit of a lofty one.

367

What do you want your legacy to be?

368

Oh my gosh.

369

I mean obviously that's a very deep question and I'm sure people have given way better answers that I'm about to give.

370

But I think that again my corny my corny quotes probably but like I think like I want to uplift people.

371

I want people I want people to feel a positive feeling when they hear my name, see my face.

372

So I think that that overall just happiness

373

and well-being is like all I would want from anyone who has any love for me anywhere

374

and who remembers me down the line when no one cares about me anymore.

375

I just hope that it's all positive and all good vibes.

376

And I think that, yeah, I just want to.

377

Yeah.

378

Peace and love.

379

I love it.

380

Well, thank you so much, Kendall.

381

I appreciate it.

382

Thank you.

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video

Shadowing—repeating speech aloud in real time—is a powerful way to improve English pronunciation and fluency. Here’s how to use this video for shadow speak practice:

Listen first: Watch the video once to grasp the main ideas. Focus on Jenner’s tone and rhythm—she speaks slowly, with pauses that make it easy to follow.
Break it down: Pause after 5-10 second clips. Repeat each line, mimicking her intonation and stress. Pay attention to phrases like "take control of my own business"—notice how "control" is emphasized.
Practice with a shadowing site: Use tools that let you loop clips and record yourself. Compare your version to the original to spot differences in pronunciation.
Focus on flow: The dialogue has natural pauses (e.g., "I mean, it's to make a long story short, I guess it was..."). Copy these pauses to sound more natural.
Repeat daily: Spend 10-15 minutes a day on shadow speech. Over time, you’ll notice your fluency and pronunciation improve, making conversations feel easier.

This interview is a goldmine for learners—combining interesting content with accessible language. Use it to master conversational phrases and refine your shadowing skills, and you’ll be speaking more confidently in no time.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
