★ Meet Lea
The HoLT (The House of LT) is Lea Turner's business community for freelancers, solopreneurs and small business owners. Founded in 2022, (mostly) online, and very much not beige.
Hi, I'm LeaFounder
As an AuDHD, heavily tattooed, sweary, outspoken solo mum, I felt like I never fitted into any traditional 'corporate box'.
So in 2022, The HoLT (The House of LT) was born — for everyone with a business who wants a space to belong.
Every day, 500+ awesome humans share their stories, learn together, celebrate the good days and support one another on the bad days - including me. I'm in there every single day, connecting people, offering advice and helping out wherever I can.
Together we combat the loneliness of running a business. We give without expecting to receive. We don't let job titles or income decide anyone's value.
It's a place for you to be seen, celebrated, helped and appreciated exactly as you are.
The culture
Serious about business. Not about ourselves.
The HoLT is like no other community out there: we're serious about business, without taking ourselves too seriously. Four things hold it together.
Anti-corporate energy
You, as you are
Weirdness allowed
No knobs allowed
It isn't just branding, it's the actual culture and we look after it. We give without expecting to receive, and we don't let job titles or income decide anyone's value.
