✨About our Guest✨
Sadie Higgins is an entrepreneur, writer, frequent podcast guest, music enthusiast, and mother of three. In 2014, she started her first business, Pluck, when her son, Heath, was three months old. Featured in Boston Magazine (https://www.bostonmagazine.com/health/2014/09/26/brow-bar-boston-pluck-sadie-higgins/), Pluck travels to businesses in Boston to provide beauty services for busy women (and sometimes men), right in their offices.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, Sadie lived many lives as a magazine writer, sales agent for a travel company, barista, and a receptionist at a private school. She learned to navigate the ups and downs of self-worth through lessons in failure. By the time the pandemic hit and Pluck came to a (temporary) screeching halt, she had begun planning a digital startup that was coincidentally fit for lockdown. It allowed groups to write cards and letters that were signed privately by each member, which were then emailed to its recipient as a sort of love bomb for special occasions.
When she realized it didn’t have a solid business plan, she pivoted to building an app called Gleam, which was created to help relieve the burden of remembering important dates and finding gifts for loved ones, while simultaneously supporting small businesses.
Gleam notified friends and family of an upcoming special event, like a birthday, and sent personalized gift suggestions from small businesses. But building and running a startup just didn’t feel right. She didn’t want to burn out on something she wasn't even passionate about. And this discovery led her to redefine her ideal of success. She is currently writing her first book.
