When a 9-5 Becomes Taxing // with Kathy Di Paolo of Wanderers Wealth

I loved this conversation with Kathy. One reason she's Legally Different to me is the duality that she authentically embodies. She’s a self confessed tax geek (basically, she's tax wonder woman!), yet she’s also this cool, free spirited adventurer and entrepreneur.  She is breaking down so many pre-conceptions about tax and legal professionals. I just love how pioneering she is and the way she does things.
