Laura is a serial entrepreneur who has started and sold a successful international executive search firm and built philanthropic and political action committees from scratch. Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge began when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor’s presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton’s White House, where she helped shape the national service initiative, AmeriCorps.
Laura is a frequent contributor to The TODAY Show, Good Morning America, Harvard Business Review, and OprahDaily. She is also the best-selling author of Limitless and now the author of her new book, Wonderhell.
