In a candid conversation, Kate introduces herself not just as Brian's associate but as the co-founder of Blueprint. She unpacks the misunderstandings people often have about her relationship with Brian, and what it means to hold a significant position within the company while frequently being mistaken for an assistant or girlfriend. Her journey through the entrepreneurial landscape reveals both challenges and triumphs.
When asked about her role, Kate admits that her days are rarely typical. As the Chief Marketing Officer, she juggles various tasks, often stepping in to mitigate fires that arise within the company. Work is not just a responsibility for her; it's something she genuinely enjoys. This enjoyment comes from the creative freedom it offers and the positive relationships she has built with her team.
Yet, the line between work and personal life is blurred. Kate’s idea of a day off often involves socializing over brunch or playing pickleball—which hints at her commitment to balancing work with leisure but also illustrates how deeply intertwined those realms have become.
At the heart of their current adventures lies the anticipation of a documentary release—something that elicits a mix of excitement and fear. While Kate's life may not radically change post-launch, the seismic shift in Brian’s world is palpable. After encountering viral moments online before, she knows the reality that fame can bring.
Being part of a documentary required intense vulnerability and constant filming, which challenged her comfort with visibility. The experience forced her to grapple with self-worth, privacy, and the rawness of human emotion.
In an industry often dominated by stereotypes, Kate reflects on her experiences as a woman in tech and business. Countless assumptions about her capabilities arise simply based on her gender and youthful appearance. It becomes apparent that while many view her as merely an assistant or a girlfriend, her contributions to Blueprint are profound and foundational.
This underestimation sparks a stronger resolve in Kate as she voices her mission—not only for herself but also for young women everywhere—sharing her journey to foster empowerment and visibility for female leaders in business.
Kate’s background in fashion serves as a trajectory towards her role within Blueprint. Her early passion for the merging of AI and humanity drove her to search for people pioneering similar ideas.
