This week, I’m joined by Steven Sashen, the mastermind behind Xero Shoes, whose journey with his wife has reshaped the idea of what shoes can be. Inspired by the bestselling book, ‘Born To Run,’ Steven created his first pair of DIY sandals right at his kitchen table to find a safe and fun way to enjoy the joys of barefoot walking. Impressed by the noticeable results these sandals brought to her stride, Steven’s wife joined in and together they created a one of a kind footwear brand that more than 50,000 happy feet can vouch for.

We'll be chatting about everything from their 'aha' moment and the leap into the Shark Tank, to how they've navigated the twists and turns of branding and marketing in the unique niche of barefoot shoes since the last 14 years.

Here are some highlights from this episode: 

✅The initial idea behind Xero Shoes

✅The ins and outs of their Shark Tank experience

✅Xero Shoes’ approach to marketing and branding

✅Smart ways they've grown their community and email list

✅Their journey to building a nine-figure business
