Kathyrn Rose is the Founder of getWise and the wiseHer Foundation.

getWise is an expert advice platform that curates a range of business specialists, and small businesses and people who are seeking help can schedule time with the person whose expertise best matches their needs. It’s not free, but it’s very affordable, and Kathryn shares how this value exchange that getWise delivers benefits everyone. In full disclosure, it’s a platform that I am proud to be a part of. And in my experience, this structure is really rewarding because you are able to pay it forward to others who are seeking it out and committed to learning.

The wiseHer Foundation, then, is a non-profit organization designed to support women and small businesses around the globe with advisory services, education, and resources on-demand. This is a similar platform specifically for women, and proceeds go towards funding grants for women-owned businesses.

What Kathryn has done with her career (her forced second career, as you’ll learn about in a few moments) is incredible. But I think what I appreciate most about this episode is that Kathryn shares with us the grit, curiosity, community, and years of hard work that are really necessary to become successful — stories that I don’t think we can ever hear too much of in the era of curated lives on social media.
