And how networking and building relationships play an integral role. Do you find yourself wondering where someone got their big idea, or how they took the leap to leave a traditional role to start something of their own? Before you travel somewhere, do you spend lots of time searching the internet and reading blog posts to find the local and unique businesses you must visit on your trip? Do you often find yourself in conversation with store owners about their shops, but always left wanting more and wishing you could get beyond their quick soundbites to hear what inspired their journey and what keeps them going? Join us to explore stories of business owners who have taken the leap into entrepreneurship and turned their passion into a successful venture!

Laney & Lu: Jennifer Desrosiers

October 31, 2022 • Episode 40

Jennifer Desrosiers comes from a background in engineering and found herself wanting less compartmentalization of “real life” and work, and more infusion of her passions and activities that excite her throughout every single day. So, somewhat spontaneously, she founded Laney & Lu, an eatery with a much greater purpose than just delicious food, and then Palette, a graze box “edible art” company, and now, the mothership Altitude Companies, with many more adventures on the horizon. If you have ever had a moment in your entrepreneurship journey where you were unsure about where you are or where you are headed, this conversation is a must-listen.
