After graduating university Helen and her partner launched their first startup. They realized it was a flop and pivoted to a new business, again and again. It wasn't until their fourth business, Schoolyard Snacks, low-carb, low-sugar cereals, that Helen was able to become successful. 

Helen and her partner now run their business from all over the world, have scaled to 8-figures, and are both Forbes 30 Under 30 winners. 

In this episode we talk about how she's been able to persevere, when she knew Schoolyard Snacks was 'the one', whether or not you need corporate experience to be an entrepreneur, how she balances work and life with her partner, and her hybrid of "digital nomad" life.
