They told her no one would buy turmeric lattes. That she was crazy for leaving a $350,000 salary behind.
That she needed to have sex with her boss for any shot at career advancement.
Jennifer Wilder has heard it all. It's never stopped her before, and now, at 48 years old, nothing can.
Wilder (formerly known as Jennifer Desrosiers) is the "boss babe" owner of Seacoast favorites LANEY & LU and Ginger Fox Bakery. Before opening LANEY & LU in Exeter, N.H., 10 years ago, Jen lived a completely different life, having spent 20 years working in manufacturing, engineering, and plastics.
And now, in Part One of a two-part conversation, the Seacoast's top adventuress is ready to tell all.
From the West End of Portsmouth, Jennifer and host Troy Farkas discuss Jen's childhood, her "brutal" experiences with sexual harassment in her past career, and the health issues that led her to completely change course.
Plus, what she learned about herself during yoga teacher training, the vision that led her to create LANEY & LU, why the brand took off more than she ever imagined it would, growing her restaurant empire, becoming a role model for female entrepreneurs, and much, much more.
