We had one of our most intimate and mind-altering conversations with the remarkable CEO and co-founder of Auditminer, and Melissa's cherished friend, Kelly Mann. A dedicated truth teller, successful entrepreneur, loving mother, and breast cancer survivor, Kelly's impact on us during this conversation was both indelible and profound. 

From a young age, Kelly's authenticity and unfiltered honesty was often met with resistance. Her innovative, outspoken spirit left her feeling out of place in traditional  settings. Yet, it's precisely these characteristics that ignited her path to self-made success. However, her greatest battle was yet to come. A routine workout revealed an unexpected adversary: stage three breast cancer. Amid a global pandemic, with a new company to manage and three children to care for, Kelly's world was upended.

Kelly's raw openness about her terrifying battle with cancer invites new perspectives about beauty, self-acceptance, our relationship to time, and the simplicity of joy.  Her incredible resilience, authenticity, and unshakeable courage will inspire you to seek meaning in the present, and find ways to turn impossible hardship into adventure. Her life serves as a testament to the truth that despite life's harshest storms, we must find the strength within to rise above, choose ourselves, and let our unique light shine.
