     Keynoter Kendra Tanner had some advice, “I appreciate the opportunity of talking about my journey. It’s okay to fail, overcome adversity, be authentic and true to yourself. Surround yourself with smarter people and celebrate your wins. Continue to put yourself out there so you can have these amazing journeys as well.”
     Kendra also spoke about taking the company private during the pandemic. She said the process of taking on a capital partner was, “Like getting a colonoscopy and an endoscopy simultaneously, without medication.”
