LAUREN KURTZ
FOUNDER OF APRÈS ACTIF
Today I’m chatting with Lauren Kurtz who is the founder of Après Actif - a minimalist lifestyle apparel line inspired by ski & snowboard culture.
As a former ski racer and avid snowboarder Lauren combined her love for the sport and creativity to create her brand. She launched her first collection in October 2019 (funded entirely by her), and is now shipping to over 15 countries and a handful of trendy boutiques in Ontario.
Lauren is the ultimate freedom babe who loves diving deep into personal development. She swears that while you are growing a business, personal development is one of the key things you need to reach your goals faster.
