Celi is truly a master builder of rock-solid foundations.
Celi and Lis discuss learning to read the story numbers tell, what can happen when you don’t have a firm business grounding (it happens to a lot of people!), and Celi’s choice to be transparent about fertility as an entrepreneur. Ultimately, Celi is determined to provide business owners with the tools they need to learn the rules and then break them so that founders can operate from a state of freedom (not overwhelm).
