Joanna Kirk

Correction/Clarification from Episode 004: Speaking off the cuff, I referenced a plague decimating the Native American peoples, when it fact, the original root cause can be traced back to Mass Genocide.

This week, I sat down with PR strategist, advisor and community builder, Joanna Kirk. Her track record includes clients such as Atomico, Station F, The ChangeNow Summit, Founders Factory, Made.com, Wirecard, and Ouishare Fest. To name a few.
