“A Different Kind of Smart” and the Beauty of Messing Up with Spanx Founder Sara Blakely

Beyond The Beauty with Bobbi Brown

Sara Blakely bombed the LSAT twice and sold fax machines door-to-door for seven years. It wasn’t until she cut the feet off a pair of pantyhose that she had the idea for Spanx, which would ultimately become a billion dollar brand with stores in more than fifty countries worldwide. In their conversation, Sara tells Bobbi the story you haven’t heard about creating the company that would become a household name. Sara and Bobbi also chat motherhood, being “a different kind of smart,” and the importance of messing up.
