“What the F*ck Are You Waiting For?” Musician & Marketing Strategist Laura Fox on Death, Reinvention, & Helping Build the Seacoast’s Biggest Brands

Laura Fox thinks about her deathbed often.

It's why she spends the majority of her time doing what she loves: Playing music, traveling, moving her body, and connecting with others, and it's why -- at Maine Fox Marketing -- she only works with clients who share her values.

The secret weapon behind some of your favorite Seacoast brands (Vernon Family Farm, The Press Room, Soul Models, etc.), Laura creates websites and builds marketing strategies that bring more eyeballs to the businesses she's passionate about helping grow.

When she's not behind her laptop, she's singing and playing guitar with her band Foxglove, where she sings about "love, the lack thereof, and the in-between."

From the West End of Portsmouth, one of the most fascinating guests in "Seacoast Stories" history joins host Troy Farkas to discuss why she studied "the attainment of happiness" in college, learning the art of performance from James Taylor's brother, how she unintentionally found herself singing the national anthem at Fenway Park, why she took a marketing internship at age 29 (for $12 an hour) in Portsmouth, the advice she'd give to anyone weighing a career move, her hopes of releasing a studio album, and SO much more.
