“Like many entrepreneurs it is hard to think someone outside can deliver enough value to compete for our time or budget. That desire to do things ourselves and our way defines us as entrepreneurs. The ‘Storytelling4 Entrepreneurs’ was a simply refreshing way to step back and look at our business from the foundation. Kim’s contribution to our company has certainly accelerated our growth path and sharpened our focus. ”
– Jeff Boyko, Owner, Castle Currency Management
