My Wife Quit Her Job Podcast | 658: She Built a 7 Figure Clothing Brand With Just $5K in Bartending Tips

00:00 / 46:22

In this episode, I sit down with Sharona, the founder of Shushi, who turned $5K in bartending tips and a trip to Bali into a 7-figure resort wear brand. She shares how she landed Bloomingdale’s early on, walked away from it all to move to France, and later rebuilt her business on Amazon and Shopify while working with handmade artisans in Bali. We also dig into why selling clothing is so tough today, how she deals with knockoffs from brands like Shein, and what she would do differently if she were starting a clothing brand from scratch.
