Audrey McLoghlin’s peer once compared her to a cockroach that could withstand nuclear warfare. Weird compliment? Maybe. But Audrey says she was touched. She grew up with an alcoholic father and learned early to rely on herself, not a partner, to make ends meet. As a serial entrepreneur in fashion, she’s built her businesses through some of the toughest economic times—think: the Great Recession and COVID-19—proving resilience is her superpower.

In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Audrey shares: 

• Why “stranger danger” seemingly doesn’t exist in Ireland 
• How she went from engineering to entrepreneurship in her early 20s
• The biggest thing she learned going through personal bankruptcy
• Why she thinks entrepreneurs owning 100% of their company isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach
