Her curious spirit and love for conversation often leads her into interesting stories about connection, particularly what happens when we allow ourselves to share honestly and openly with each other.

And as the owner (or Chief Coffee Slinger as Kim calls it) of Stones Throw Coffee, Kim has the opportunity to connect with all kinds of people on a daily basis and she's genuinely interested in learning something about each and every one of them -- like where they're from, where they're going, what they think, what they're afraid of or what makes them happy.

In this conversation, we talk about the importance of opening yourself up to others, age beyond numbers, transitioning from corporate life to an entrepreneurial one, and staying true to yourself.
