Founder and President of Fuentek
After beginning her career as an aerospace engineer and working in the defense industry, Laura navigated several career transitions before taking the leap to becoming an entrepreneur. Here she shares her story of going from employee to employer, creating one of the first virtual companies, and finding that “different can be good.”
“I quit on a Friday… and I lost about ten pounds… My entire career had been working for big companies and climbing that ladder; so that’s what I knew, that’s what I was comfortable with, and that’s what I expected I was going to do the rest of my life…”

Nationally recognized family therapist, best-selling author, and founder of The Relational Life Institute in Boston, MA
Terry is known for his ground-breaking work on men and male psychology and for helping couples in marital crisis. His work has been featured in The New York Times, 20/20, The Today Show, and The Wall Street Journal. In our conversation, Terry talks about building resilience within a marriage, what it takes to keep passion alive, and how, at its best, marriage can be healing for both partners.
“Everybody walks in to couple’s therapy with exactly the same complaint…their partners… It turns out – I call this the mysticism of marriage -- that we all wind up with partners…who are exquisitely designed to stick the burning spear into our eyeball… The issue is not how to avoid these buttons… the issue is what do we do when we get there.”

“The first stage is being comfortable with the unknown… Entrepreneurship is not for everyone; it’s not for the meek of heart. It’s for individuals who have convinced themselves that they’re willing to operate in an arena of ambiguity… The arena of opportunity is represented by the arena of the unknown.”
