In this episode of The Icon Show, Jordan Lynae sits down with Sabra Taylor-Smith, a 30-year leader in the auto glass industry, business development director, author, and creator of Glass Ceilings & Signature Soles.

Sabra shares what really happens after you build and sell a business—and then stay inside the company you once owned. This conversation goes beyond the highlight reel into identity shifts, leadership, letting go of control, redefining success, and learning how to keep walking even when the next step feels unclear.

Inside this episode, we talk about:


• Selling a business and staying through the transition


• The identity shift from owner to business development leader
• How leadership changes when you move from directing to supporting


• Why your glass ceiling may not be above you—it may be around you


• The power of clear messaging over perfect words
• How shoes became Sabra’s metaphor for grounding, presence, and confidence


• Why success isn’t always about the title—it’s about the footprint you leave

Key takeaway:
You don’t need perfect words.
You need a clear message.
And even when it feels uncomfortable… keep walking.
