Megan Bennett of Light Years Ahead: ‘If someone says “no”, try again in a few months!’

If someone says “no”, try again in a few months!! I have had media say no to something and then remember that I had reached out and a year later contact me finally for a story where the brand fits.

For my series on strong female leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Megan Bennett of Light Years Ahead.
