We had the good fortune of connecting with Lauren Barrett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lauren, is there something you believe many others might not?
A conventional piece of advice that I would challenge is ‘always follow the rules.’ While I understand the importance of rules, I believe that sometimes rules can limit creativity and innovation. I think it’s important to challenge the status quo and think outside the box to find new and better solutions.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am most proud of the journey I’ve taken to get where I am today in the business world. I come from humble beginnings, where I faced significant financial challenges and needed to survive. This adversity fueled my drive to succeed and pushed me to work harder than ever. Through determination, hard work, and perseverance, I was able to start my own marketing and tech company. Today, my company provides comprehensive digital marketing solutions and SaaS technology for businesses of all sizes, helping them thrive in the digital landscape.”

Alongside my role as a business owner, I’ve also taken on the role of an investor. I believe in supporting and empowering small brands and startups. I have actively invested in promising ventures, providing them with not just financial support but also mentorship and guidance. Being an investor has allowed me to contribute to the growth of emerging businesses and make a positive impact in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The challenges I’ve faced along the way have not been easy, but they’ve taught me valuable lessons. I’ve learned the importance of perseverance, adaptability, and continuous learning in the fast-paced world of marketing and technology. I’ve also learned the value of strategic partnerships, networking, and leveraging my skills and expertise to create meaningful opportunities.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that I am passionate about helping businesses succeed and thrive. My journey from adversity to entrepreneurship has shaped my values of resilience, determination, and empathy. I bring this unique perspective to my work, and it drives me to go above and beyond for my clients and the ventures I invest in. I am committed to making a positive impact in the business world and empowering others to achieve their goals.
