Margot Blouin is the founder of Cadstrom, a rising tech company whose success is deeply rooted in her personal journey. In this special Pride Month episode, Margot shares how embracing her identity as a transgender woman wasn’t a detour from her professional path — it was the key to unlocking her full potential. For years, she hid her truth while building her career, fearing that authenticity might cost her everything. But when her body and spirit could no longer bear the weight, she chose to transition — a decision that not only changed her life but became the foundation for her company’s growth. Margot’s story is a powerful reminder that living authentically isn’t just courageous — it’s transformative.
