Marie Perruchet talks journalism, writing a book and giving advice to startup founders 

Marie Perruchet is the author of One Perfect Pitch. She advises startups and executives on how to pitch themselves, their ideas and their products. I had the good fortune to discuss Marie's journey to becoming an author. She shares tips on how to tell your story, how to keep moving when things get tough, and how to relieve stress (hint: martial arts!). 

You can find Marie's books at Amazon.com here. Follow Marie on Twitter here.
