What happens when a group of women building very different things sit down and simply talk?

In this roundtable conversation, Debbie Bishop is joined by women from the Brand House community to talk about what they’re creating, what drives them, and the desire to use their work to make a difference.

The conversation moves through creativity, business, personal growth, purpose, community and the experience of putting something meaningful into the world.

At a time when so much attention is focused on division and chaos, this conversation was a reminder that there are people everywhere quietly creating, helping, connecting and sharing what they know.
