Sara inspires hundreds of women at the Inc. Women's Summit in 2011, drawing laughs with her down-to-earth style and stage presence. It's no surprise she used to work as a stand-up comic, but it might be a surprise to learn she's terrified of public speaking!
With 2 snips of her scissors, Sara forever answered the question, "What do I wear under white pants?" {Also, "How do I make my butt look good?" and "How can I hide my tummy?" and "How can I look like I've lost 10 pounds?" and more}. The patent lawyer she consulted thought her idea was so crazy, she must be from Candid Camera. The male hosiery mill owners all turned her down, until one finally ran the idea past his daughters. But she kept trying, and today, SPANX and Sara are worth $1.1 billion.
