Overview

In this episode, I got to catch up with my friend, Dr. Katherine Grill, CEO & Co-Founder of Neolth. Katherine was back on the show back in April of 2022, and her episode is the most downloaded episode of all time, and for good reason - She’s a stellar entrepreneur, a Forbes 30 under 30 Superstar, and most important she is helping learners of all ages with mental health care. We chatted about Neolth’s expansion into the K-12 market and the app going international. Katherine also gives some insights into what it is like to be an entrepreneur in 2023. It’s time to grab those headphones and tune in to this amazing episode!
