EPISODE 2: Casey Capuano Sarai – Disrupting an Industry with Heart
Today, we’re joined by the fearless and inspiring Casey Capuano Sarai—co-founder of CAKES Body- the company completely redefining the traditional bra industry. With just $10,000 and no investor backing, Casey and her sister launched CAKES Body in 2022—and what started as a small product innovation quickly turned into a viral sensation and a $100 million valuation.
We’ll talk about what it’s like to leave behind a decade in corporate America, how to turn adversity into innovation, and what it means to grow a mission-driven brand. Casey’s story is proof that impact and business can go hand in hand—and I can’t wait for you to hear it.
