If you think it’s too late to reinvent yourself and turn the seed of a business idea into something that can make an impact, Laura Harnett’s story is one for you.
After setting up Seep, an eco-friendly cleaning tools business that has sold (among other things) more than a million plastic-free, 100% compostable sponge scourers, Laura went on Dragons’ Den and won investment from the Dragons she came in to impress.
Now, this eco-conscious entrepreneur has a hotline to Deborah Meaden and Trinny Woodall that Laura is using to help her build an empire. 🔥
So tune in to hear:
✨ How finding a lump in her breast while in the shower one morning changed everything for Laura..
✨ Laura’s nerve-wracking Dragons' Den experience (and what you DON'T see on TV!).
✨ Some shocking stats about the gender gap in private equity investment and why we all need to support female-founded businesses.
Here’s what to listen out for:
[01:11] Receiving a life-changing diagnosis.
[04:01] Having a big idea and taking risks.
[05:47] What’s it like to pitch on Dragons’ Den?
[09:44] The motto any entrepreneur needs to live by.
[11:10] Looking for investment? This stat might shock you.
[12:49] Don’t miss this awesome discount.
