We talk a lot on this show about why we think it’s important to lift the voices of women entrepreneurs of all backgrounds, but I thought you might also want to hear it from a guy we find incredibly interesting (so interesting, that he’s our ONLY male guest in fact) — our Invoice2go CEO, Mark Lenhard!
