Dany Garcia on managing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and building a business empire: Being different is your 'superpower' (via CNBCMakeIt)

She's also a professional bodybuilder, and Johnson's ex-wife: The pair married in 1997, and divorced in 2008. She's worked hard to shed that "ex-wife" identifier, especially since she and Johnson still work closely together.

Here, Garcia discusses meeting Johnson in college, building her own business empire and advice for her younger self:I was born in Belleville, New Jersey, but the majority of my growing up was actually in Succasunna, New Jersey. We were one of the two Cuban families [there]. I could just see the strain. My drive at a young age was: I'm going to be a millionaire and provide for my family. As I matured, it became: I want to build wealth to take care of my family.We first saw each other in the weight room at the University of Miami. I was in my senior year on the varsity crew team, and he was in his freshman year, recovering from an injury playing football.

We were both into strength training and bodybuilding. We liked the same music. We both wanted more, to do more. He asked if I had a phone. I told him I did. He started to call me every day, after that.Kudos to Joneswork [Garcia's public relations team] over the last three years for not getting mentioned as the ex-wife. It took a long time.The second thing is: Who you are in the room defines what your future will be. When I'm in the room, I'm always Dany Garcia, the business partner.
