That was a superb podcast. Really enjoyed it, thanks.

Kate was great. Her maturity is off the charts for a young adult and on top of that her personality is very like-able and fun. The only thing I noticed was her team of experts might be difficult for the average person to relate to, but overall, I think she shared some really useful and achievable…
