    How Peer Learning Fuels Entrepreneurial Freedom: Laura Drury's Journey with The Alternative Board

    Welcome back to The Future Is Borderless. In this episode, I had the chance to connect with Laura Drury, CEO of TAB Focused Directions, and someone who's doing incredible work helping business owners grow through peer-to-peer learning. Laura's story is powerful—she made the leap from a successful career in telecom software to becoming an entrepreneurial leader and coach. We talked about what drew her to The Alternative Board (TAB), and how small, curated groups of business owners are creating real transformation by leaning into vulnerability, accountability, and shared experience. This conversation hit on a lot of themes I care deeply about—freedom, leadership, and the idea that we grow faster (and stronger) when we're not doing it alone. Laura has a unique perspective on what it takes to build momentum, and why community matters now more than ever, especially in uncertain times. If you're a founder or executive who's looking for clarity, connection, or just a better way to navigate the challenges of growth, this one's worth your time.
