I’m Laura Roeder, the former joint founder and CEO of MeetEdgar and now PaperBell. Since I was 22, I’ve been an independent entrepreneur. I’ve always felt most at home in the small business community, and that’s why I’ve always been focused on giving other entrepreneurs the tools they need to be totally independent. In 2009, I founded LKR Social Media, where I taught business owners how to harness the power of social media marketing and create their own online fame. I was named one of the top 100 entrepreneurs under 30 in 2011, 2013, and 2014, and I even spoke about entrepreneurship at the White House! (My weekly newsletter of social media tips, guides, and news has grown to over 100,000 readers, too, if you wanna check that out.) https://paperbell.com/ https://lauraroeder.com/ https://meetedgar.com/ Here are some of the questions we going to be asking Laura during the interview #1 - Can you give the audience some of the biggest problems you faced connected to growing MeetEdgar?
