Gwyneth Paltrow is full of surprises. The beautiful blonde may have started her career as a Hollywood actress, but she’s also transitioned into a full-time entrepreneur. What started as a simple once-a-week e-mail newsletter has become a fully monetized blog called Goop.

In November 2016, the actress discussed her journey of starting a successful e-commerce company at the Airbnb Open in Los Angeles. Emma Roberts, Julianne Hough, and Mariah Carey also attended the event.

“It’s such an exciting time to be an American because we are at this amazing inflection point,” the Oscar-winning actress said.

“People are clearly tired of the status quo, and … it’s sort of like someone threw it all in the air and we’re going to see how it all lands,” Gwyneth added. “It’s very important for me, personally, now more than ever, to create a community and to remember the humanity of everybody and to create love and … understanding.”
