This is, without a doubt, one of our favorite guests we've had on the show! Carol Latham's story is incredibly inspirational to all. She was a chemistry major and began her career in corporate America. After a few short years, she had kids and became a full-time mom.
After 18 years out of work, Carol came back to Corporate America with more motivation than before. However, she quickly realized a glass ceiling above her. Her company would not take her seriously and discourage her from new ideas and projects. (Something we still see to this day)
Carol decided to take her new ideas and projects into her own hands. Eventually starting a company called Thermagon Inc which made high-thermal conductivity materials, used to cool chips in computers and other electronic systems.
The road was long and full of obstacles, but Carol pushed passed every barrier in her way. We have a part 2 coming next week to hear how Carol turned her small startup, into a multi-million dollar business.
Thanks for listening! Check out part 2 of Carol's story right after this!
