After nearly a decade as a website designer and sales funnel strategist, April Hiatt realized that being highly skilled at a job didn't mean she was actually passionate about it. Facing the loneliness of an empty nest and solo entrepreneurship, she pivoted to build a movement: Wise Woman Masterminds.
