Laura is not your average speaker. 

She's a global powerhouse, a woman who bootstrapped, built and sold a luxury travel magazine, traveled solo to over 40 countries and has been flown around the world like a president on tour, all from the power of her thoughts. 

She appeared on Dragons' Den at 25 and left without a deal. 

What followed was bankruptcy, reinvention, and a rebuild that would later lead to global success. 

Ten years on, her clip re-surfaced and went viral, with over 2 million new viewers engaging with a story that still hits hard.

That moment became a full circle reminder. People don't connect to the polished version, they connect to the real one. 

Laura's story has never been about the pitch, it's about what happens when the door closes.
