Building a Business in a Male-Dominated Field with Laura Munkholm

#117. On this week’s guest episode of the podcast, Carolina had the pleasure of speaking with President and Co-Founder of Walla Software, Laura Munkholm. Laura worked in the fitness industry for over 15 years as a teacher, studio manager and owner of a fitness business & software consulting firm- over the years, she became fed up with the lack of progression in the FitTech industry and that is when she and her partner developed their specialty software to help studios save time and capture more revenue. In today’s conversation, they dive into Laura’s previous career experience, how her career has progressed since the beginning, the realities of being an entrepreneur, trusting the timing of your experience as an entrepreneur, what she would do differently if she started now, and the impact a community of those who you work out with can have. This episode is both motivational and educational for anyone curious about the entrepreneurial world.
