“Life is what is in front of you” says Deborah Meaden. In this episode of What I Wish I’d Known, the business leader shares how the challenges she faced in her early years shaped her as the entrepreneur we know today. At four years old she lived with a surrogate family whilst her mother worked to make ends meet. She met her biological dad on her doorstep as a teen, and left school at 16, and her first company failed.
Deborah prides her success in later life from the determination, grit and tenacity that she learnt from the challenges she faced in childhood.
WARNING: contains discussion of sensitive topics.
