Sophie Adelman is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Garden, a community for the curious that enables anyone, anywhere to access the world's experts and leading academics that are shaping tomorrow.  In this episode, Sophie shares the experiences and lessons that led to the creation of this innovative online learning platform, as well as the process for selecting the experts who participate in it.  She also talks about what it was like to be part of Multiverse (formerly known as WhiteHat) and shares valuable advice for people looking to expand their own professional network.  If you’re a part of the ‘incurably curious’ camp, join us for this episode of Hands On.

Hands On gives listeners an authentic look at how startup leaders drive success, growth and strategy.  The conversations are relaxed and sincere, offering an invaluable glimpse of what's 'under the hood' – and what it takes to excel in spaces that tend to be uncharted.  In each episode, our esteemed guests speak freely about the challenges, breakthroughs and lessons learned that have shaped their growth both personally and professionally.  Like picking something up and examining it from all angles, with Hands On we look closely at what it takes to build companies, careers and relationships.
