From giving away half of her company's profits to the impactful changes it has brought within her team and community, Lauren’s story is proof to how business can be a powerful force for good. Join us to discover how generosity has not only shaped her business strategy but also fueled its growth to incredible heights.

"Giving away 50% of your profit, that's painful, there's a lot of pain in that. But what's amazing is, I have helped more because I felt called to mission work at a very young age."
"This will be a billion-dollar company. I get very clear on my vision. You don’t like my team? Great, I’ll go find the best. I'll go find it and scale it."
