But when she turns off the light each night, she is alone and terrified of the future. She knows that what’s important to her isn't money or start-up glory or social media followers. She wants love. She wants a family.
And she is stuck. She hasn’t been on a date in 10 years. She’s too embarrassed to list herself on the internet and can’t bear the risk of getting rejected.
She decides to act. She’ll take the tactics she's learnt building companies and apply them to finding a man.
Her epic journey will take her on dates with 138 different men in Sydney, New York and San Francisco, while at the same time confronting the immense challenges of launching a business.
She’ll face exhaustion, humiliation and heartbreak; she’ll meet some strange and dangerous characters; she’ll strip herself of the ego and expectations that have been holding her back — but she will not stop.
138 Dates by Rebekah Campbell is published by Allen & Unwin, RRP $29.99.
