A Difficult and Illuminating Evening - Kate Inglis
·Kate Inglis is a Halifax, Nova Scotia native. She is an award winning writer, a brand strategist, a photographer and an old soul. In 2007, with life cruising along nicely - no major trials to speak of, no significant hardships, her world came crashing down. She gave birth to twin boys prematurely, at 28 weeks into the pregnancy. Ben and Liam, identical twins, each weighed under 3 pounds. After 2 months, Liam died, sending Kate into a journey unlike any she had ever faced. She has inspired millions with her books, a Ted Talk, and her attitude about her loss. She formed Glow in the Woods, the world's first online community for bereaved parents, and continues to write novels and children's books, and her approach to grief and life and death is refreshing and thought-provoking. This interview with Kate will provide comfort, and warm your heart.. Parallelism is a word that you will now use in your vocabulary after you listen to our discussion.

Twins and Co-CEO's: The Power of True Partnership - Jenny Dinnen and Katie Rucker
Jenny Dinnen and Katie Rucker are twin sisters who run a successful data analytics and market research firm in Orange County, CA. They grew up watching their parents each run their own businesses, but never had aspirations of working in either company. As kids, they had a lot of differences, and even went to different high schools. As they approached college age, they both chose to attend the University of Colorado in Boulder, and for the past decade have become so close that they are now co-Presidents of MacKenzie Corporation. They work well together, and have become so close that, in 2019, they were selected into the Family Business Hall of Fame at Cal State Fullerton.
