Ep 7. Sarah Smyth: Overcoming Failure & Using Your Singleness Wisely
Sarah Smyth, founder of Raw & Rebellious, joins us to talk about her entrepreneurial journey, overcoming failure, dating in the south, her thoughts on inclusion, and how brands and organizations should be treating those with special needs in ad campaigns. I can honestly say Sarah was our must vulnerable and honest guest we have had to date. I love her courageous heart to take ownership of improving herself and admitting where she failed along the way, a true mark of a great leader and entrepreneur.
