This week’s guest, Gwenna Kadima, shares how and why she decided to bet on herself and make the transition from a corporate job to the life of an entrepreneur. We talk about  how her corporate life and experiences have informed the direction of her new business and how she gained the courage to take the necessary steps to make her dreams of becoming an entrepreneur a reality.
