Huge thank you to friend and inspiration, Kat Weaver. Really enjoyed this episode as we got to talk about Kat's past experiences pitching her (now successfully exited company) Locker Lifestyle and her latest venture, Power to Pitch.

Everything from overcoming obstacles, creating vision boards, to doing what makes you happy in this life. And with that.. enjoy!
