809 Sandra Powers Murphy: Founder of Scarlett Chase
On today’s episode, we welcome Sandra Powers Murphy, Founder & CEO of Scarlett Chase — a luxury footwear brand proving women no longer have to choose between style and support. By blending European craftsmanship with patented, orthotic-grade technology, Scarlett Chase is redefining performance luxury with shoes engineered for what Sandra calls “The Runway of Life.” Sandra’s journey began with a personal frustration after a successful career in finance — she couldn’t find shoes that were both beautiful and truly wearable. Rather than settle, she identified a gap in the market and built a brand handcrafted in Italy with sneaker-like construction and proprietary support designed to challenge expectations around women’s footwear. In this episode, Sandra shares how she pivoted industries to launch a fast-growing brand, what it takes to innovate in a legacy category, and why designing by women for women creates a meaningful advantage. We discuss navigating today’s retail landscape, leading with discipline, and turning a personal pain point into a powerful business. A great conversation for founders, leaders, and anyone inspired to build something better.
