In this episode of Something to Consider, we sit down with Loulou Khazen—serial entrepreneur, investor, and host of Conversations with Loulou—to reflect on reinvention, resilience, and the quiet cost of becoming.
This isn’t just a conversation about exits, startups, or success—it’s an honest exploration of what it takes to keep building when identity, impact, and boundaries are constantly being redefined.
Loulou opens up about creative risks, the emotional toll of pursuit, the loneliness that often lingers behind leadership, and the lessons learned about trust and self-worth along the way.We dive into how accountability shapes growth, why mentorship matters, and how raising the next generation offers a chance to build a different kind of legacy.
If you’re navigating your next chapter—or simply questioning what "success" really means—this episode is for you.
We hope you’ll find something to consider.
