_Note: Sorry for the poor audio quality on my end. Recording is hard... _

Nina and I discuss her incredible journey through evaluation from research analyst to independent consultant to founder and principal of her own evaluation consulting firm, Intention 2 Impact. We discuss starting up her business and how that's been going. Along the way, we also discuss her evaluation background, including her dissertation-in-progress on entrepreneurship in evaluation.
