? Our spotlight shines on another incredible woman… ?? Please meet Kate Bradley Chernis, Co-Founder & CEO at Lately.AI, a cutting-edge social media platform that uses AI to automatically transform long-form content into smart, shareable posts—helping businesses elevate their online presence. Kate’s journey to entrepreneurship began after spending years as a rock ‘n’ roll DJ, radio host, and award-winning producer and engineer in an industry dominated by men, where her talent often went unrecognized. Inspired by her father’s advice and supported by two angel investors, she transformed frustration into fearless action, using it to launch her first company. ?? With 30+ years of experience in broadcasting, sales, marketing, and brand-building, she initially built LatelyAI after creating a social media strategy for Walmart that delivered an impressive 130% ROI year after year *for three years*. ?? From her radio roots to AI innovation, Kate continues to break boundaries, democratizing social media marketing and inspiring the future of social media. Her advice for people early in their career? ?? ??? “Have faith in yourself and trust your gut! Nothing crushes me more than seeing talented people (especially women) second-guess themselves. Even the smartest make mistakes, and so will you. The real misstep? Avoiding mistakes at all costs - as many are not fatal but essential for growth." ??Connect with Kate & learn more below. ___________________ Wednesday Women is supported by Commsor ?? - where business and personal success is created by a focus on “go-to-network” and relationship-driven growth.
