Company Website? www.whitehottruth.com and Twitter: @DanielleLaporte

What inspired you? A burning desire for creative liberation.

How long have you been in business? My whole life.

How did you fund it? Credit cards and midnight oil.

Do you belong to any Business Organization or Networking Groups? No. I’m an introvert. That said, Twitter is a phenomenal space for connecting.

Current Business Challenge? What challenges? I only see opportunities. I’m not being coy; I’ve been doing it long enough to not take it too seriously.

Favorite motivational quote: “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” – Joseph Campbell

Family? I have a six year old amazing son.

If so, how do you balance family and business? I don’t. I believe life balance is a myth.

Favorite book? To Kill A Mocking Bird. And the book I’m about to write.

What do you do to relax? Snuggling. Buddhist meditation. Kitchen disco. Lemon water. 

What do you want to change most about your world? The faulty premise that being well-rounded will get you the approval you seek. Fughet it.

What are you most proud of? That my son is gentle, hilarious and loves to rock out.

What advice would you like to offer other Startup Princesses? You know. That’s it. You know what you want, you know the answer. Don’t second guess your desires — they are your most accurate compass.

Favorite Magic Wand (tool/resource)? My sense of humour, and a capacity for very deep listening.

If you could design a tiara, what precious stones would you use? Just pure solid gold for me, baby.
