Scared, industry-unenlightened, unrealistic, and naively enthusiastic, Kerstin set out on her entrepreneurial journey…In this episode, you’ll learn how taking a leap can change your life, how much power passion has on your work output, the value of patience, and how to follow your gut when making big, life-changing decisions. Tune in to hear the inspiring story of Kerstin’s ups, downs and how she broke through.
