It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Kic - which you might have previously known as Keep It Cleaner, which was founded by Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith (now Miller).</p><p><br></p><p>Today we’re chatting with Laura who is the CEO of the Kic App and we’re really diving into her mission to help others embrace self-acceptance and make sustainable changes towards a healthier, happier lifestyle. The KIC app is like your best friend in health and wellness, literally in your pocket. It helps you with easy yummy soul-nourishing food recipes and workout programs you can literally do from home.</p><p><br></p><p>I really loved this episode because Laura talks us through her journey from turning her experience in a toxic industry into a life-changing, high-impact company that helps women positively every single day. We talk through how she manages running a business as the CEO with her life outside of work - a battle we all seem to face, the real costs of developing an app, and her tips for getting started if you have an idea.</p><p><br></p><p>Before we jump in a quick reminder on the girl code - if you get something out of this episode please share it, review us, or send us to a friend - it all seriously helps and the compound effect is huge. You know I love the compound effect. And I have been feeling so loved after reading all the beautiful reviews you’ve been leaving on the show. Oh!
