  • Episode 37 - Cathrine Anderson
    The fear of making mistakes can be paralyzing, especially when taking on something as monumental and high-stakes as starting your own company. Many potential entrepreneurs get so caught up in creating an absolutely flawless business plan, that they never actually make the leap and start the project they’ve been dreaming of for years. For entrepreneurs, the simple act of starting is more than half the battle.
    Cathrine Andersen, co-founder and CEO of Roger AI, is an incredible example of how taking action––despite any fears or trepidations you may have––can pay off in major ways. That doesn’t mean that everything went perfectly for her when she co-founded her first company.In fact, she’ll be the first one to tell you that she has made many, many mistakes over the course of her entrepreneurial journey. However, when things go awry, you have the chance to learn something new. Through continuous trial and error, lessons learned, and relationships with strong allies and mentors, Cathrine was able to propel herself and her companies toward success.
