Throne’s long-term mission is to develop technology that can help detect early signs of colon cancer, bladder cancer, and other cancers of the lower gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.

    Natalie Ellis: Is Your Business Trapping You? How to Build One That Runs Without You | Entrepreneurship | E404

    Entrepreneurship gave Natalie Ellis the success she had always wanted, but behind the scenes, BossBabe started to feel like a business she could not step away from. When motherhood, burnout, and a difficult co-founder split forced her to slow down, she realized the freedom she built the company for was no longer reflected in how the business ran. So she rebuilt BossBabe into a business designed for freedom; one that could scale without needing her at the center of it all. In this episode, Natalie reveals the systems that allowed her team to generate $2.2 million during her maternity leave and shares how entrepreneurs can build a freedom-based business that supports their life, not traps them inside it.
