Business Is Not a Battlefield with SPANX’s Sara Blakely

On today’s episode, Meghan sits down with Sara Blakely, the founder of SPANX, who turned $5,000 in savings into a billion-dollar brand that redefined shapewear. In this conversation, the pair get real about betting on yourself, and building bold business strategies. Sara also opens up about starting from scratch again—this time with her latest venture: a shoe line called Sneex.

I am ambitious

I enjoyed this series because it gave me hopes of what I can become. I may have waited too long to start, but maybe not. Dreaming…or just wishing.

Dreams Come True

A fantastic, inspiring, invigorating interview between two powerhouses. A Must Share with my very focused granddaughters.

Be your own blue print

I like this episode as the founder invested her capital in her business. She didn't use the traditional male model for her business.

excellent podcast

The debunking of the myths surrounding building a business was marvelous. Also, knowing yourself and what is within. The quiet mentioning of a therapist removes another stigma. Love this series, every episode had golden nuggets that will encourage and support any female to take that confident risk to start a business.
