Sara Walker AKA StyledSara on Viral Instagram Growth, Building Relationships With Brands and Winter Fashion
On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with fashion creator and former Revolve buyer, Sara Walker—better known online as StyledSara—to trace her journey from Seattle college intern to building one of the most trusted fashion voices on Instagram and TikTok. Sara shares how she broke into the fashion industry without traditional experience, the persistence that landed her a role at Revolve during a hiring freeze, and what being a buyer actually means when it comes to curating trends for millions of shoppers. We get into the early days of StyledSara—from posting OOTDs for 30 days straight and gaining 10K followers overnight to realizing her account was becoming a full-time career. Sara also dives into how to build genuine relationships with brands, the winter trends she’s loving, her holiday party styling formulas, and where she recommends saving vs. splurging this season. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow online, break into fashion, or elevate their winter wardrobe.

Ty Haney on Leaving Outdoor Voices, Returning, and Launching TYB: A Masterclass in Community-Led Growth and Brand Loyalty
On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with entrepreneur and Outdoor Voices founder, Ty Haney, to unpack her unconventional path from Boulder athlete to building one of the most influential activewear brands of the last decade. Ty shares how her early frustration with performance-only athletic wear sparked the idea for Outdoor Voices, the scrappy early days of community events and recreational movement, and what it was really like scaling the business to $100M as a first-time founder. We dive into the realities of fast growth—from hiring the right people to navigating growing pains—as well as the emotional complexity of leaving the company she built and later returning under new constraints. Ty also opens up about launching TYB, her community-commerce platform now powering loyalty for 250 brands, how she balances running multiple ventures, and the one thing she refuses to compromise on no matter what: excellent product. Insightful, candid, and packed with lessons on community-led growth, founder resilience, and staying immersed in your craft, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone building a brand, leading a team, or redefining what it means to “try your best.” Enjoy!To connect with Tyler Haney on Instagram, click HERE.To check out TyB on Instagram, click HERE.To check out Outdoor Voices, click HERE.To check out Joggy Energy, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Instagram, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Tiktok, click HERE.To learn more about Arrae, click HERE.
