Start-upsLauren Glass
At a young-ish age, Lauren discovered her passion for entrepreneurship. This passion manifested itself through weekend lemonade stands and unknowingly stealing what were later identified as family heirlooms and selling them to her neighbors. (PSA: The heirlooms were recovered and the money was returned to the customers.)
At age 18, Lauren founded the non-profit Beds4Kids. Beds4Kids was a non-profit organization that worked to provide beds to kids in need in Kingsport, Tennessee. Lauren served as the Executive Director for nine years and scaled the organization into four different states.
In January of 2019, a new opportunity came on the scene by the name of RPL. Lauren realized as she looked back on her journey from high school to college to entrepreneurship, back to college, and all of the stress, excitement, and confusion that each of these seasons brought, that there was one statement that always stuck out in her mind. Whenever anyone would try to help encourage her to keep going, they’d say, “Just follow your passions!” Then it hit her — everyone tells you to follow your passions, but nobody tells you how to find them. This was the thought that inspired RPL.
Lauren is eager to share her experience and expertise as a start-up founder with MAB clients!
