Ep 74: Be defined by what is in your control with Laura Bartlett

The Purpose-Led Leadership Podcast

A public rejection on Dragon’s Den would be the end of many entrepreneurs’ dreams, not so Laura Bartlett. After being told to “have a reality check” she took the rejection and created something bigger and better.

As the Founder of House of Coco Magazine, now 10 years strong, she has lived through debilitating grief, separation, and bankruptcy. All these things have shaped who she is now and how she views the world.

In this episode she talks about the experience on Dragon’s Den, her relationship with money, how she coped with grief having lost her father and what it was like to go bankrupt.
