One of our favorite things about Tyra Banks (aside from her contribution to reality television , her fierce acting chops and her incomparable smizing capabilities ) is her willingness to speak candidly about the fashion industry.

That notion rings true in a new interview for the December 2015 issue of Glamour. The "America's Next Top Model" host got real with the glossy about her career, studying at Harvard Business School and more.

We know Banks today as one of the world's most recognizable supermodels, but as she revealed to the mag, being turned away from jobs is what brought her success.
