A lot of people call themselves serial entrepreneurs, but with Louise Fritjofsson, that title seems to actually be legit. After starting an the e-commerce business Popsox, the ad-tech business Ad Profit, and the health- and training app Vint, Louise is now launching a brand of plant based baby food in the US called Bla Bla Foods. HOWEVER, the first AMAZING interview was never caught on tape after Walter forgot to hit record, so this episode is a backup version we recorded afterwards. So, while the sound is not perfect and our performances as hosts questionable, Louise still provides so much value in this interview that you don't want to miss it. Check it out and see for yourselves. :)
