We're looking back at some of the very best conversations that we had on the Knowledge Project this year, covering a wide range of topics with some fascinating guests. There are 10 different conversations in this very special episode, and I think you'll find there are lessons to be learned from all of them. To start us off, we're going to hear from Cat Cole, who appeared on episode 117 in August. Kat spent nearly a decade in leadership roles with Focus Brands, the global multi-channel franchiser that operates Cinnabon, and a few other brands like Anti Anns and Jamaju's, she started as a waitress at Hooters and climbed her way through the ranks of leadership to eventually become the COO of a global brand. I asked her about the first person to ever bet on her, and our conversation took off from there. She outlined how her belief in the power of possible shaped her incredible career arc.
