From Corporate IT to Creative Freedom - Exposing the Hidden Reality | Season 5 | Episode 4


Women, Technology and Entrepreneurship - A live conversation with Kim Roth

What’s it really like being a woman in Corporate IT, and then deciding to step into the world of IT entrepreneurship?


Join Annette Garsteck, Sandra Wint, GPCC and Kim Roth, Founder of Allura Connections, as we explore candid insights and experiences from decades in Corporate structures, IT and business.


We’ll explore:
  • The surprising overlaps between tech and entrepreneurship
  • Biases, insights and breakthroughs as women in male-dominated spaces
  • The freedoms and frustrations of entrepreneurship

About Kim:
Kim believes in keeping tech simple because she understands that your business should serve your life, not complicate it. From managing full data migrations for multi-million dollar companies to creating elegant workflow automations for solo entrepreneurs, she's seen how the right approach can transform everything.

Her journey from corporate IT professional to certified HighLevel Admin and Master Marketer isn't just a career change, it's about leveraging your strengths while having the courage to build something entirely your own.

Kim's philosophy: Build what you need, without all the fluff.

Our promise: A conversation that honors both the challenges and celebrates the possibilities.

Join us as we explore what it means to be a woman charting your own course in worlds that weren't always designed with us in mind, and how to create the success that feels authentic to you.

This is more than a career conversation; it's about the courage to trust yourself enough to build the life and business you truly want.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
