| 0:10.2 | Well, that tool exists. |

And so she's going to walk us through how she really kind of stepped into her own when it comes to telling her story and connecting with an audience. Also, as the CEO of a thriving |
| 1:32.0 | company, cares passionate about inspiring people to help share their story and be who they are. |
| 1:37.5 | And her book, Undaunted, has really sparked the reimagination of taking risk, helping others |
