Having been an entrepreneur and founder for over 20 years, I have
read my fair share of business books but Build The Damn Thing is
like nothing else I've read! Kathryn's honest insights and 'tell it
like it is' approach to building is not only refreshing...it's
necessary; especially in a time when so much is at stake. I greatly
appreciate the attention to principles typically glossed over-or
completely ignored-in most books about entrepreneurship, like the
importance of core values. That, for me, makes Build The Damn Thing
a must-read for any aspiring startup founder grounded in commitment
and responsibility.
