In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah LaFleur, founder and CEO of multimillion dollar women’s work-wear brand, M.M.LaFleur. Sarah and I talk about how her work in management consulting, private equity, and time working for a non-profit South Africa ultimately led her to quit her job and start her own company. After struggling for years to find good workwear, Sarah found herself spending a lot of money on low quality, poorly fitted clothing, stating, “I just couldn’t believe how much of my paycheck I was having to spend on these clothes!”. Stay tuned to hear about how this predicament informed M.M.LaFleur’s company mission and goal, to make more beautiful higher quality clothing for the workplace. 

Sarah has found exceptional success in an incredibly competitive, saturated industry all while overcoming numerous hurdles along the way. On my podcast, she offers us her outlook on what it means to be fulfilled in your job to how to create and cultivate a successful company and strong work environment for women.
