Summary
In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and Rhubaia founder Lacey Cadieux to talk about resilience, self-belief, and building a company without outside funding. We discuss the barriers women still face in business, why so little investment reaches female founders, and how Lacey's upbringing on a ranch shaped the work ethic that carried her through the technology industry. She shares the defining moments that strengthened her confidence, the mentors who encouraged her to claim her place at the table, and why creating opportunities often starts with believing in yourself before anyone else does. Together, we explore leadership, perseverance, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
