Description

Laura McConnell Conti is co-founder of #GoKindly, a high-quality bedding basics brand, BCorp, and social Enterprise making the world kinder by donating 50% of profits to women in need.
In this episode Laura shares why she built her business without knowing what product or brand would be the vessel, instead focusing on the operating model first…
You see, she knew what type of business she wanted to be, one with positive social and environmental impact at the core – and knew the product would reveal itself as she went along.  
You’ll hear about why considering your social impact, in any business at any stage, is simply a must do.
Laura also shares her experience growing up in a fundamentalist community. She opens up in a way that is so generous to others who may have a history or present with this challenge, sharing how that experience, and her experience in a corporate environment that left much to be desired, has formed her into the strong, powerful, grounded and kind person she is today. 
Laura leaves you feeling like everything is possible, like your voice and your work matters – because it does.
If you’re ready to feel empowered to truly own who you are in this world and make an impact with the work that you do, this chat is for you.

This weekly podcast explores what it’s like to be starting your career over, with the people who’ve done it. In conversation, we tackle the messy middle of changing your life - how it feels to drop the identity of whatever came before and step into a brand new you – with, or without a plan.  Your host is Kim Kerton (hi!) the creator behind the handmade ceramics and plant-based recipes of Good Side of the Bed, a writer, marketer, yoga teacher, sea-changer, rev-head and pug mum. Before all that, Kim spent over a decade in the commercial media business. She decided to walk away, got unemployed and afraid, and here we are. This podcast is for the brave people who want to start over but are feeling the fear - maybe putting off starting because the end isn’t clear - and for those who find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind. Whether by choice or by push, starting over is scary, Unemployed & Afraid is your tribe on the pathway through change.
