Kate Wright - Founder of Intentio Business Design

In this episode I am talking with Kate Wright - professional challenger of the status quo, highly educated business woman, free spirited unschooler, queen of neglect when it comes to all things skincare even though she worked in the beauty industry, and co-founder of the alternative lifestyle and career website, Intentio Business Design.

Kate’s on a mission to help unstick the stuck, re-energise the miserable, set free the imprisoned, and hulkify the helpless, empowering them to buck the system & say ‘f*ck it all, Imma do what I want!’ by stepping boldly into their future and building their own stunningly authentic, magnificently independent, and unbelievably awesome business.
You won't want to miss this episode!!

Born and raised in the small South Otago settlement of Milton, Heidi, most commonly known as Heid's, was the sporty chatterbox at school, and her ambition in life was to find a career path that enabled her to socialise and travel the globe with intent to bring positive impact to business and communities.
In this episode, Heidi talks about her journey from small town Otago, to the big smoke of Auckland to work for one of NZ's biggest telecommunications companies. She discusses her personal and professional growth, and how she decided she wanted to create a place that blended the best of both pakeha and Te Ao Maori world views into a co-working space that would help people navigate the future.
