Kim Recalls the Formative Life Lesson She Learned From Caitlyn

This week's episode of The Kardashians served as our daily reminder that Kim Kardashian loves to work. No, but she like loves it. In a single hour of television, the SKIMS founder lectured at Harvard, advanced her probing of Kevin Keith's conviction and probably flew to Milan for a meeting with Dolce and Gabbana (but nobody tell Kourtney).

Although the Harvard seminar itself wasn't filmed (the Ivy Leagues have their standards, after all), the aftermath of it was, giving Harvard Business School Executive Matt Higgins a chance to tell Kim that she's "on par with the best consumer CEOs" out there.

"How did I get to this place?" Kim pondered in confessional afterwards. "How did I make this all happen?"

The off-camera producer wondered the same thing, asking the beauty mogul for the "secret to her success," and whether it has something to do with the fact that she doesn't wait to take a step—she just takes it.

"That’s something that my stepdad taught me," she replied in agreement. "She said to me something that really stuck with me for I guess my whole life...That, I should try to do things that I am scared of and that are outside of my comfort zone, because that’s the only way I’ll ever grow."

The episode (and that scene in particular) was also a reminder that the Kardashians are masters of synergy, as it dropped just after 1) Kim covered Fortune's 2023 Most Powerful Women issue; and 2) Caitlyn said that she's tighter with her Jenner children than she is the Kardashians. "When you have as many kids as I have, you’re closer to some than you are to others," the former Olympic athlete said in an interview with ITV1's This Morning. She also revealed that she "never" talks to Kris and it's "sad"—and, funny enough, Kris's storyline this week was all about her sexy date-nights with boyfriend Corey Gamble.

It's called "work," people. Get up and do it!
