Another week, another inspiring Milwaukee woman. 

This week on the podcast: a precautionary tale from a Milwaukee woman brave enough to share her story so that we can learn from her experience. In 2023, Kaitlin Henze lost her life savings in a sophisticated phishing scam. Imagine working your entire life, only to lose it in the course of three weeks, with no recourse to recuperating it. Listen as Kaitlin shares the details of her story as well as tips on how YOU can avoid becoming a victim. This is a great episode to share widely so that we can all stay safe and secure.
