From Shoes to Stock Scandals: Steve Madden Gets Real with Pam

Pam Gaslow Episode 21

Pam welcomes fashion legend Steve Madden for a deeply personal conversation about ambition, addiction, creativity, and second chances. From sweeping the basement of a Long Island shoe store to running a global brand, Steve shares the pivotal moments that shaped him—including getting sober, serving time in prison, building his company back stronger, and raising three kids later in life. This episode is real, vulnerable, unexpectedly funny, and packed with insight on what it actually takes to start from the bottom, rebuild after failure, and stay grounded through success.
