Bonus Catch Up with Visa's She's Next Grant Programme Winners Denise Walsh and Anna Kelly

On this bonus episode, brought to you by Visa's She's Next Grant Programme, I catch up with two of last years' grant recipients: Denise Walsh of Curly Co. by Denise Walsh and Anna Kelly of Nibbed Cacao. I learn about their business journeys, how they benefited from winning Visa's She's Next, and get some advice for those of you who might want to enter this year! I love to learn about women's business experience, so I really enjoyed this chat.
