74. Sarah Clancy, Founder of Sarah Marie Design Studio

"Yeah, there are times that I have no idea what I'm doing. But that's part of the fun of it." —Sarah Fitzpatrick Clancy

Sarah Clancy is the founder and creator of Sarah Marie Design Studio. The runner-specific apparel and accessories company was born two years ago, and almost instantly gained a devoted following including the likes of Kara Goucher, Molly Huddle, and Andrea Barber. Sarah is a work-from-home mom of two and full-time business owner, and on this episode, she shares her successes, failures, struggles, and victories. As for whether entrepreneurship was always the plan? Sarah says she always knew she'd be a business owner, but wasn't sure what that would look like. It wasn't until she honed in on her true passions — running the show and running — that she found her niche. Here's how she made it happen.
