Sarah LaFleur LIVE in NYC - The Founder & CEO of M.M.LaFleur on Raising Triblings, Embracing Surrogacy, The Power of Fashion, & Continuing Her Mother’s Legacy

Today’s guest is Sarah LaFleur, the Founder and CEO of M.M.LaFleur. We spoke at one of her NYC stores, in front of our first-ever LIVE podcast audience! Raised in Japan, Sarah worked in corporate consulting at Bain and had a short stint in private equity before giving business ownership a try. After recruiting designer Miyako Nakamura, the pair set off to create a brand of stylish, high-quality clothing for professional women. They launched M.M.LaFleur in 2013, and have gone on to hit revenue milestones in the tens of millions. Beyond her business story, Sarah’s motherhood journey is something to behold. This includes raising “triblings”—a.k.a. three children who were born 7 weeks apart—thanks to surrogacy and her own pregnancy happening at the same time. It’s a wild story that we can’t wait to share with you. We hope you enjoy our first—but definitely not our last—live podcast recording! Follow Sarah at @mmlafleur and @sarahmlafleur on Instagram.
