So, when I was able to raise $5 million without anybody really knowing, without being public, it was because I had done the work... I knew I could build Genius Guild because I spent a lifetime building stuff." - Kathryn Finney Discover more about Kathryn's journey and the insights behind building Genius Guild in this powerful podcast episode.
