M.M.LaFleur: Sarah LaFleur (2020)

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that our team is working super hard on a whole new lineup of fresh episodes for twenty twenty two, which will be ready for your ears. starting next week. But in the meantime we're gonna run another one of our favourites from the Archives, and as you will hear, when I did this interview with Sarah LaFleur back in twenty twenty, We had no idea that a pandemic was about to hit. And that the sudden shift to remote work would threaten the entire premise of her business. So be sure to listen through to the end because I will have a little update on how Sarah and the company are adjusting to a very different world. We still continue to do trunk shows. We had revenue goals for the month and so if we weren't meeting our revenue goals then we would

You know, set up a trunk show stat. Right. But online, uh it was just a totally different story. We could not sell our dresses. Getting close to running out.

That was a wake up call. It's how I built this. show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements. Mm.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
