In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Founder of Limitless Women, Laura Gisborne.

Laura Gisborne is not just an ordinary woman; she does extraordinary things. As the founder of Limitless Women, she explained that the organization is more than just a business. It's a vehicle for creating a positive impact in families and communities. Since its inception in 2015, Limitless Women has raised over $700,000 for charity through business training, fundraisers, and education-based platforms.

Laura's journey to founding Limitless Women is an inspiring one. Over the last 35 years, she has founded nine different companies and has been a leading voice in philanthropy since 2009. She saw the invitations to speak and lead as an opportunity to make a difference, not only for the women they educate but also those lacking access to resources.

When asked about gender observations and how to level the playing field, Laura discussed the power of positioning versus posturing. She noted that men and women often postulate to prove themselves, but it's more effective to be positioned with who you are and your valid voice. She also emphasized the importance of men giving women their voice and showing respect.
