That startup, giide.com, is a new platform for creating rich audio learning experiences featuring a host of multimedia options such as links, articles and graphics.In our conversation you’ll hear howAllison has experienced a few seminal moments when she just knew she had to leap out of her comfort zone work-wiseWhat a Silicon Valley VC told her when she met with him for funding that nearly made her give upWhy she asks herself how can she do less when she wakes up And how she’s found her tribe of investors and supporters by staying true to herself So sit back and enjoy this episode with the not so typical entrepreneur, Allison Kent Smith.
