In this episode of the Disruptive Pod, we continue our Women Who Disrupt series with Sara Blakely, the self-made billionaire and founder of Spanx. With no industry experience, no outside investors, and just $5,000 in savings, she took on a male-dominated industry and revolutionized shapewear, proving that sometimes, betting on yourself is the biggest risk—and the biggest reward.

Join host Rob G as we dive into Sara’s journey, from cold-calling manufacturers to landing on Oprah’s "Favorite Things" list, and how her fearless approach to business reshaped the fashion industry.

What lessons can today’s disruptors learn from her success? Tune in to find out!
