Plenty of people say they want to start their own business, but what does it take to become a successful entrepreneur? Can you take the hits and keep going?

Kara talks about the mentors who influenced her journey, what her experiences at Time Magazine and CNN taught her about persistence and perseverance, and what’s inside her new book, Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters.
