Episode 39: From Scrappy to Shark Tank to Sustained Growth: An interview with badass fempreneur Sara Moylan

In this episode we talk with badass fempreneur Sara Moylan about starting and growing SheFit. Sara is a scrappy fempreneur who has mostly self-funded her company, while getting press and growth potential support from Shark Tank. She shares her wild journey inventing the ultimate sports bra for women, self-funding her company and the challenges she faced along the way.

Scrappy to Shark Tank to Sustained Growth Episode Highlights

  • Get scrappy! Keep focused and believe in your passion
  • Self-funding through all possible options was what kept Shefit going
  • All her sales at the beginning happened through Facebook Ads and sheer hustling
  • “We’ve never had a pile of cash. Startups fail that aren’t scrappy.”
  • “It’s not what you are selling, but the why. The why keeps you going.”
  • “I don’t want work/life balance. The work is my life, my passion.
