Shop owners and clothing designers, Ann and Sid Mashburn, join host, Jeff Henderson, on the Launch Youniversity podcast. Together, they share how their collective experiences — Sid going from a small town Mississippi native to one of the most sought-after designers and Ann’s real life The Devil Wears Prada experience at Vogue — have paved the way to where they are now — entrepreneurs who are constantly learning, growing, and creating. In today’s episode, you’ll hear their wisdom on leadership, decision making, and cultivating the right culture.
Welcome to episode 129 of the Launch Youniversity Podcast.

Outliers: The Story of Success
Three Takeaways:
- Sometimes, closed doors force you into open ones. In the podcast, Sid Mashburn shared how a closed door, for him, meant getting fired. That led to a new beginning in Atlanta. An ended opportunity may feel like heartbreak in the moment, but it’s more than likely leading you to a better one.
- Things go stale when you don’t create. You might not like what you create, nor will your creations always become a finished product, but remember, creativity is like a muscle — it has to be exercised to grow.
- Great designers are great noticers. Look around — inspiration is everywhere. Whether it’s your environment or something you admire from someone else, be open to being inspired anywhere at any time.
