Ivanka Trump describes her life as the daughter of a potential US president, running the Trump empire, and building her own brand

You saw her introduce Donald Trump when he formally announced his presidential candidacy last year, you've seen her at his side on the campaign trail, and on Thursday night you saw her introduce her father as the Republican presidential nominee at the party's convention.

But Ivanka Trump has more going on in her life than politics.

As executive vice president of development and acquisitions at The Trump Organization, she's taken over running Donald's real-estate empire with her brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, while her father focuses on campaigning.

And as head of the Ivanka Trump lifestyle brand, she's aiming to inspire women with articles about #WomenWhoWork while promoting her clothing, jewelry, and accessories line geared toward young professional women.

In March, I spoke with Ivanka about her life, what it's like running the Trump empire, and the challenges of building her own brand.
