CAROLINE: Hi, . I'm here with Kathleen Booth. She's the vice president of marketing at Clean.IO and we're really lucky to have her here with us today. Kathleen, thank you for being with me.
KATHLEEN: Thank you for having me on the show, Caroline.
CAROLINE: So, I always like to ask new zealand girls whatsapp number my guests what they wanted to do when they were a kid, what they wanted to do? When they grew up, so... So, what was your dream as a kid?
KATHLEEN: Oh, so when I was really little, I wanted to be a famous actress, but as I then transitioned into, I think, middle and high school, I became very much like a social activist, and I wanted to change the world, and actually it was around the time that apartheid was a thing in South Africa. And, so it led me to then go to college and study political science in the hopes of making the world a better place for everybody.
CAROLINE: Got it. And, so what led you to marketing?
KATHLEEN: So, I did go to college for political science, as I mentioned, and I started doing a graduate degree in international politics, and about halfway through that, the school that I was at, which was George Washington University, and in Washington DC, allowed existing graduate students to do a second degree without having to reapply, 'cause they would look at your existing track record. And, so I, at the time, just remember thinking I need a degree that's gonna make it easier to find a job. And, so I did an MBA and I happened to concentrate in marketing in my MBA, and that eventually led me to start my agency, and pursue a career in marketing.
CAROLINE: Awesome, awesome. So, when we started to chat, you sent me a video and I had this amazing revelation that you can learn about marketing while trying to replace your front door. And, it was a fantastic story and I would love to hear it again.
