Sophia Amoruso was a high school dropout and petty thief until she discovered eBay. There, she built an unlikely empire, turning her love of vintage fashion into a multimillion-dollar company, Nasty Gal. Amoruso's scrappy entrepreneurial journey is a middle finger to the traditional path to success. She outsmarts her competition, seizes opportunities, and forges her own way - one questionable decision at a time. But can this former dumpster diver maintain her hard-won empire, or will her disdain for authority be her downfall?
