Entrepreneur, Investor and Author
Lara Morgan is an entrepreneur, investor and author. She built, scaled and successfully exited a global business, selling it for £20 million, and she wrote the bestselling book More Balls Than Most: Juggle Your Way to Success with Proven Company Shortcuts. Her outlook was formed early: growing up, she watched her father struggle financially and eventually go bankrupt, an experience that left her determined to work with risk rather than fear it.
In conversation with host and producer Aleksandra King, Lara reflected on the experiences that shaped her entrepreneurial journey, from her childhood relationship with money and success to the sales habits that helped build a £20 million business. She shared candid lessons on leadership, confidence, teamwork and decision-making, made the case for failure as one of life's greatest teachers, and explained why successful people put themselves in uncomfortable situations, ask for what they want and take action before they feel ready.
She also explored the philosophy behind More Balls Than Most, why courage, persistence and learning from mistakes are often more valuable than talent alone, why perfection is the enemy of progress, and how to avoid a life filled with regret.
