On today’s show, I have Lauren Frontiera, podcaster and creator of The Real Female Entrepreneur.
Lauren and I are in the same entrepreneurial groups online and after a few Skype dates, we became fast friends. Lauren and I started our businesses around the same time and Lauren so openly shares the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship and I can relate to practically all of the topics she talks about on her podcast, where she interviews a variety of female entrepreneurs sharing their successes, struggles, and everything in between.
During this episode, we talk about meditation, her journey to becoming an entrepreneur, the struggles and rewards of being a podcaster/entrepreneur, among many other topics. Lauren is not one to hold back and she shares it all and I’m excited for you to listen.
Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
