Refusing to leave well enough alone

Laura Wing, MSML, is a mildly dangerous founder-type whose primary business strategy is apparently refusing to leave well enough alone.

At 60, Laura decided she wanted a college degree. Seven months later, she had two. Naturally, she did not simply enjoy this accomplishment like a normal person. She wrote a book about it, started a YouTube channel, built a blog, created Pinterest funnels, added affiliate links, made digital products, and somehow began monetizing the snacks she ate while earning the degrees.

This is why she should never be left unattended near Canva.
