In this episode, Katie sits down with Kara Penn, a 1994 Boettcher Scholar and owner of Mission Spark. Kara’s journey from scholarship recipient to social impact leader has been marked by a commitment to systems-level change and a passion for supporting mission-driven organizations.
As co-author of “Fail Better,” Kara emphasizes the importance of learning from “smart mistakes,” while using failure as an asset in management and life. She also reflects on how motherhood has influenced her leadership style and the lessons she’s applied from parenting to professional life.
