Twenty-one years ago, heavily pregnant and launching her first business from her kitchen table, Catherine Langman's old boss told her she'd never be successful working from home. In this personal episode of The Brand Marketing Show, Catherine shares the sliding doors moment that followed, and the honest truth about what actually made her first business work – because it wasn't determination alone.
