Sarah and Chris Rhoads have spent the last 15 years as renowned fashion and lifestyle photographers and Creative Directors, partnering with Fortune 100 brands to develop, produce, and shoot highly successful advertising campaigns. Their creativity and a unique, moment-driven approach have helped shape iconic global campaigns for brands like Sony, Google, Levi's, and Keds. From photographing Taylor Swift for Keds to leading product releases for Meta, their work has taken them around the world, creating standout content for some of the world's biggest companies. Driven by Sarah's personal experience of working long hours on set and struggling to find stylish yet supportive footwear, they channeled their creative expertise into founding Commbi footwear. Their goal was to create footwear that offered the perfect blend of comfort, support, and effortless style.After years of innovation—designing, prototyping, and collaborating with podiatrists on footbed development—they brought their vision to life. In August, they launched Commbi, a brand that merges style with functionality, and it has quickly gained momentum in the market.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:42] Intro[01:26] A product inspired by real-life challenges[02:48] Innovating to achieve comfort and style[03:48] Creative experience meets product [04:48] An obvious idea no one else thought of[05:51] Testing viability through 3D printing experiments[06:44] Pivoting using past experience for new ventures[08:00] Balancing brand building and performance marketing[08:59] Launching from a place of need and desire[10:15] Evaluating decisions during the brand's early days[10:58] Building momentum by putting yourself out there[12:15] Episode sponsors: StoreTester and Intelligems[15:28] Pushing past the cringe to amp up your brand[16:55] Fighting resistance as an entrepreneur[17:53] "Playing business" without progress[18:43] Seeing everything as opportunities for growth[20:09] Data and passion in business decisions[20:59] Discovering unique products at CommbiResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeLifestyle footwear combines approachable styles with comfort https://commbi.co/Where supportive comfort meets customizable style instagram.com/commbi_official/Follow Sarah Rhoads linkedin.com/in/sarah-rhoads-a7b86a13/Follow Chris Rhoads linkedin.com/in/chris-rhoads-44062a6/Book a demo today at https://www.intelligems.io/Done-for-you conversion rate optimization service storetester.com/If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

U.S. Navy veteran and Amazon VP Sarah Rhoads talks Liz to about the challenges she faced in becoming a Navy fighter pilot and how she found a second calling building something new at Amazon.

I love power couples, and when I saw Sarah and her husband Chris, the duo behind We Are the Rhoads, featured in Santa Barbara Magazine, I instantly knew I wanted to meet them. Successful commercial photographers, married, and raising three boys, Sarah has had to choose her own path to make it all work, and she's never been happier. I loved this conversation about her journey, what brings her joy, and how to make it in Los Angeles. I'm sure you will, too!
Rural areas have a provider shortage. Hear how rewarding it is to work in rural healthcare taking care of families across the lifespan. Join me for a conversation about rural access to care. Dr. Dee Blakney, a Family Nurse Practitioner and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner who has a clinic in two small towns in West Tennessee, and Dr. Sarah Rhoads a nurse practitioner and nurse researcher with a special interest in rural health access and technological use in health and medicine. We discuss barriers to healthcare for those residents living in rural areas and how Dr. Blakney's clinics provide the residents in Hardeman County and other surrounding counties the healthcare sorely needed. The small town of Whiteville does not have a pharmacy. Dr. Blakney talks about resources available for those residents. This rural area does not have a dentist or optometrist and residents must drive many miles to seek this care. Dr. Rhoads talks about rural resilience and how technology, largely telehealth can supplement the care rural community residents need. She also talks about the Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) grant from HRSA and how funds go to benefit rural residents by providing nurse practitioner students experiences in rural areas for which they will commit to working after graduation.
