In this episode of Bakersfield Business, Rubi sits down with Irene Clancy, owner of Bakersfield Pilates Barre and co-founder of Vecchio’s, for a conversation that goes far beyond business.

From launching a shoe line that landed in major fashion spaces, to navigating failure, motherhood, and reinvention, Irene shares the real journey behind what it takes to build something meaningful.

This episode dives into:

  • What it means to bet on yourself before you feel ready
  • Building businesses while raising a family
  • The power of belief, even when no one else sees the vision
  • Creating spaces that change lives—not just generate income
  • And how legacy is built through the next generation

This isn’t just about success.

It’s about resilience, faith, risk, and becoming the person you were meant to be while building it all.
