Kory has helped clients get into these companies:
I'm Kory, a seasoned entrepreneur and founder of a shoe company called TAFT. In 2019, I won the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award along with Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition. I sold that business to a private equity group in 2022, one month after my son passed away. Since then, I have turned my focus to speaking up about the importance of physical and mental wellness in the entrepreneurship space. Areas of expertise include stress management, physical health, mental health, work/life balance, juggling your family and career, and how to beat burnout. If these things are important to you, we will be quick friends!
