Your past doesn’t disqualify you, it can develop you. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Lauren Robuck, founder of Ginneca Row. We talk about the real startup costs, the fulfillment mistake almost everyone makes too early, and the mindset shifts that helped her scale from scratch to 42 stores nationwide using nothing but cold outreach and organic growth (no paid ads, no celebrity gifting budget, no connections). She also shares about growing up between two homes, developing OCD as a way to cope with feeling out of control, and doing the inner work that helped her reclaim her peace, presence, and identity. Tune in and get ready to elevate how you show up as a founder, leader, and creator.
