The new book
The next book is about what comes next.
Everybody’s an Entrepreneur is Kathryn’s field guide to building, working, and surviving in an economy where the old career path does not exist anymore.
Everybody’s an Entrepreneur
A field manual for the next decade of work.
Entrepreneurship is not a choice for some people anymore. It is the new operating system for everyone.
The old definition of entrepreneurship is too small for the way people are actually working now. The builders, operators, conveners, translators, and freedom founders quietly running the real economy do not always call themselves entrepreneurs. Kathryn does.
Drawing on decades as a founder, investor, and observer of how real businesses get built, the book offers a bigger frame for what comes after the old career path. It is not a hustle book. It is a way to recognize how you create value and make better decisions about how you work, hire, fund, and live.
The first book taught founders how to build. This one asks what changes when more of us are entrepreneurs than the current system gives credit for.
