Kate Bradley Chernis is one of the smartest, most creative and downright likeable founders in technology today. I had the good fortune to work with her in 2019 when we used her technology to launch a new social channel for Gary Vaynerchuk’s personal brand.
Kate, aka Kately, is the co-founder of the remarkable AI-based technology, Lately. But she’s more than that. She was a music director and on-air host at Sirius/XM, a radio producer, a marketing expert, a strategist and a scholar. But most of all she’s a master communicator. In this conversation we find out where her superpowers came from and who is the most influential person in her life.
The B-side of this episode, an interview with Kate's greatest influence the remarkable Johnette Hartnett, will drop on 6/1/22.
