What do you do when you’re on a mission to build meaningful companies, but the cards are stacked against you?“I was experiencing real bias. Plain and simple. And I wasn’t going to wait around until it happened again.”
– Cheryl Contee
In this episode, we’ll be hearing from serial tech entrepreneur, Cheryl Contee.
