In today's episode of the podcast, I’m delighted to introduce you to a woman I look up to and respect a tremendous amount, Dara Lamb. Dara is internationally recognized as the leading designer and manufacturer of Women’s Made-to-Measure and Custom Wardrobes. Dara's clients include some of the country’s most accomplished female business and philanthropic leaders.
