This talk is a peek under the hood of an off-the-charts successful entrepreneurship story that challenges us to learn to ride the wave, to aim to “achieve something that is not going to happen” and to remind ourselves daily “I choose to do this… I am unstoppable.

“You can't juggle flow, you gotta go with the flow: take it as it comes to you; rise to the challenges; give up on dreams and create new ones; let go of your babies in life and in work; let each flow inspire the next and allow them to transpire into a whole new flow that you never thought would be your kind of flow — Larah Bross

“It's not something I ever wanted to be recognised for, and nothing to do with me being the performer than I always dreamed of being. But something clicked and my inner drive kicked in and I did what I always do; I gave it everything I got, and just like that it became everything I ever wanted" — Larah Bross

“"(Bross Bagels) was just an idea, something that would keep me busy from 9-3, something to help Mark pay the mortgage. We had no idea that the first day we opened the doors there'd be a queue down the block and it would turn into what is it today" — Larah Bross

“"If something wasn't working for me I'd move on to the next thing and that was to keep myself challenged, inspired and keep my creative energy flowing" — Larah Bross
