Flight Club is a call to rebel, reinvent, and thrive! The book shares the journey of women who "leaned out" of the corporate world to launch their dream businesses. Author Felena Hanson, founder of Hera Hub, shares her personal story and rise to entrepreneurship.
The book also features the journeys of, and advice from, six courageous female entrepreneurs: Debby Eubank, Linda O'Keefe, Lorin Beller, Sara Clark-Williams, Deirdre Maloney, and MaryCay Durrant. Each shares their own personal exercises and advice to help you craft your flight path.

Why LoA loves it….
For many women, taking the leap of faith out of the safety and comfort of the corporate world and into the far less predictable world of entrepreneurship, can be challenging to say the least. In this great read by Felena Hanson, inspiration and motivation comes in the form of highly personal story sharing by some of the most successful women entrepreneurs who know what it is like to take that leap and make a success of the journey that follows. It’s a highly enjoyable read and one that provides some great insights and advice, together with practical steps to help others on their own business building journeys. --- Melanie Hawken, founder and editor-in-chief of Lionesses of Africa
