Meet The HIBT Fellows: Katie Mitchell & Celena Gill

Hey everyone, so as a lot of you know, every year during normal years we do uh How I Built the Summit, an in-real life gathering that we've been doing in San Francisco. This year we're going entirely virtual, but every year we've done the summit, we've invited a group of entrepreneurs to become How I Built This Fellows. These are dreamers and builders that may be in all different stages of their businesses and are looking to make connections or get mentorship or take their ideas to the next level. This year, we picked 10 fellows and we're holding a pitch competition where the winner will get a$50,000 check. From us a grant.

So over the next two weeks we'll be getting to know them a little better. One of the things I find really interesting is when people start a business with someone in their family. It might be a spouse or a sibling, but no matter the relation, they have a story that goes beyond a typical co-founder relationship. Both of the fellows we're gonna hear from today started their company with family. First, Katie Mitchell, who started the business Good Books in Atlanta with her mom, Catherine. Together

They're building a community that centers on black literature through monthly book clubs, author spotlights, and pop-up events. And while they just started the business in the spring of twenty nineteen. Katie's love of books started long before that. At times she could rarely be found. Without one.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
