Meet the Storyteller Behind the Brand: Kathryn Wharton of KLW Marketing

You know that saying, people buy from people? It’s one of those things that gets thrown around a lot in business circles, but honestly, it couldn’t be more true.

At the end of the day, we all want to work with people we feel we know, like, and trust. That’s why it’s so important to get to know the humans behind a business, not just the logos or LinkedIn profiles. And that’s exactly what Kathryn's guest appearance on the Nurture Your Zest podcast is all about. In How Tenacity Drives Community, Ashleigh King sits down with Kathryn—community builder, storyteller, and all-round powerhouse—to dig into the stories, passions, and grit that fuel her work. It’s a good one!
