Laura is on her 9th life. Despite numerous medical issues that should have been fatal, she’s still here. She is a fighter in every sense of the word. She got an early MBA in failure and has learned from all her mistakes. She believes that she is here for a reason, and that reason is to make cities safer (which she is doing with her gunshot localization technology!) Laura and Reena talk about being the only woman in a man’s world, working with assholes, getting married at 18 (which Laura thinks was a “really cracking good idea”), how she met her current husband, and so much more! Her mom always told her that when bad stuff happens, it builds character. Laura has lots of character, and you will love listening to her on this week’s episode of Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy.
