Carla White didn’t set out to be a tech pioneer—but that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, Carla shares how her viral Gratitude Journal app led to a full-blown reinvention: from coach to founder of Hero.fm, a platform helping women monetize their knowledge with audio.

We dig into the messy middle—what it’s like being a woman in male-dominated tech, the emotional toll of trying to prove yourself, and why perfection is the enemy of progress. If you've ever second-guessed launching something, Carla's story will remind you that done is better than perfect—and your voice is more powerful than you think.
