StartingBlock Madison

Permission granted: failure is essential.
And real community impact starts with someone brave enough to go first.

On July 15th at Her Network, we will have an honest conversation with guest businesswoman, Katy Ripp, about the messy, real side of launching and growing businesses, and sometimes knowing when to let go.

We'll dig into:
👉 Giving yourself permission to fail
👉 Knowing when it's time to pivot
👉 Why authentic community takes both courage and vulnerability
👉 Creating spaces where people actually connect
