Megan shares the inspiration behind Broga, which stemmed from her observations of injuries among dancers, particularly stress fractures. She discusses her journey from identifying a problem in the dance community to developing a solution that combines comfort and performance. The conversation delves into the challenges of entering the footwear industry, including sourcing materials, working with manufacturers, and the importance of feedback from dancers to refine the product.
