In this episode we have a dear friend, Dr. Shakenna Williams, who is the Director of the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship at Babson College in Massachusetts. She’s a delightful friend and entrepreneur, one who draws heavily on her wisdom. You’ll hear her talk about her new book, “Hook: Entrepreneurial Lessons While Fishing with My Dad” where she learned a lot of life lessons with her father while fishing, and she’ll talk about the entrepreneurial path and journey that she has taken to become a mentor and leaders, especially women as they embark on finding themselves and building businesses. We also hear about her foster parenting experience, as well as how big of a help and an influence her own mother has been on her in her path of life and development as a businesswoman and becoming a well rounded individual.
