We learn how her high-school chemistry class put her on an exciting path and how she discovered a manufacturing company right in her hometown. You’ll discover how two American companies are discovering opportunities hidden within the confusion over tariffs, and how Katie’s team at American Phoenix has grown from making rubber for tires to now working on soles for shoes and conveyor belts for mining.
