"Before working with Lauren, we were googling, youtubing, or trying to figure it out on our own. We created our projections to the best of our abilities but we always felt we were forgetting something or not taking something into account. Lauren's course opened our eyes.”

Christy Felix, Founder & CEO @UHustle
