As a single mom, tutor, and self-described ADHD networker, Kelly attended 200+ professional events across AI, biotech, finance, energy, policy, and culture -- and documented every one. She shares what she learned about showing up, speaking up, and building a career by being the most curious person in the room.
"Why We Teach Kids About Dinosaurs But Not About Money"
