In this episode of The Soulful CEO Path , Yorkshire-born storyteller and experience designer Emily Shimwell joins Kristin Constable to talk about what it really takes to bring a big vision to life — even when you’ve never done it before. Emily is the founder of Dine Wilder and co-founder of Graze Wilder , two ventures united by her love of community, connection, and unforgettable experiences.
