Summary
A born entrepreneur, Henrietta started (and sold) a number of businesses before founding Lily’s Kitchen - which now sells 50 million dog and cat meals a year.
In this conversation, Henrietta recounts her happy childhood before a tragic series of unexpected events would turn her life upside down. But it was her terrible loss that became her fuel through her extraordinary life. A life filled with passion, purpose and entrepreneurial spirit.
This is an episode about everything from disrupting an entire market and being a women in business, to money, B corps and doing good in the world. But ultimately this conversation is about triumph over adversity and how love (for animals or people!) can conquer all.
