Camano Voice

Episode Summary:
In today's episode, we're joined by the inspiring Caroline Cummings, CEO of RAIN Catalysts. Tracing a career that's woven through startups, bustling corporate halls, and now to the passionate realm of nonprofits, Caroline brings a unique lens to the entrepreneurial journey. But what truly sets this conversation apart is our deep dive into "work-life integration" - a concept Caroline passionately advocates for. Beyond just that, RAIN Catalysts is on a commendable mission: leveling the entrepreneurial playing field by building Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in rural areas. By bringing the tools, resources, and education often reserved for startup hubs to these often overlooked communities, they're fueling dreams and ambitions miles away from the metropolitan hustle. Tune in to discover how Caroline and RAIN Catalysts are changing the entrepreneurial narrative, one rural community at a time.
