Kendra talks with Lauren Napier (@laurennapier) about Lauren Napier Beauty (@laurennapierbeauty), her journey from make-up artist to Founder, the no from the bank “because they didn’t get her business,” to how Robert Townsend inspired her to bootstrap using credit cards, and a tax return to launch her brand. This past year she launched “Consider Something Better” to support other Black founders. 

Lauren also shared a profound analogy on “Building Your Own Bakery” that is now my mantra and something all entrepreneurs should focus on when they are told NO or that will never work.
