🚗 Transitions into the Unknown
Kathryn talks about major changes to life, how she assessed risk, and what they meant for her personally:

- Moving from telecommunications starting her own tech company

⛑ Safety
Another theme that came up a lot was the idea of safety: moving in/out of your comfort zone, the feelings of being unsafe as a founder, and creating emotional safety for the team you lead.
