Catharine Montgomery: The Chasing Challenges Mindset
Taking a stand against racial bias in the workplace was a big Step Out of Line moment for Catharine Montgomery.
Knowing when to walk away and start a new chapter is never easy, but Catharine has reinvented herself and launched The Better Together Agency, a Black woman-founded and AI-forward communications agency that creates integrated campaigns for mission-driven work. Catharine never stops learning and is a champion of AI technology, while also being determined to keep a close eye on social media in this rapidly evolving tech space that continues to place stereotypes on marginalized groups.
Catharine has found her confidence. If she could go back and talk to her younger self, she would tell her she is worthy of so much more and to be self-assured at a younger age.
In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “The Chasing Challenges Mindset,” we talk about racial bias, AI technology, and why sometimes you have to step out of line, embrace the challenge, and create your own path.
Catharine is principled and committed to her mission. And sometimes, adversity makes you a better entrepreneur. It teaches you how to bounce back, pivot, and keep moving forward.

Stephanie Kaplan: Learning How To Define Happiness
“You’re creating change just by being you.” — Stephanie Kaplan
Losing her father at 14 was a defining moment for Stephanie Kaplan. The monarch butterfly became her beacon of light on her wedding day in 2020, and she was escorted down the aisle with a kaleidoscope of monarch butterflies serendipitously. It was a sign to Stephanie that her father was indeed with her.
After working in tech and sales, Stephanie took the leap into entrepreneurship and became a coach, helping founders, executives, and investors navigate the personal side of leadership, growth, and success.
In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “Learning How To Define Happiness,” we talk about recognizing your potential, trusting your path, and knowing that no one can take away your gifts or what you’re capable of creating.
Because happiness might just begin with seeing yourself and your possibilities more clearly. 🦋

Taylor Clarke: All you Need Is A Lollipop And A Dream
"Life is preparing you for something bigger."
That’s what Taylor Clarke’s mom told her at age 7, in the middle of recovering from her first of three brain surgeries that she would endure throughout her childhood and into her early 20s. Years later, the roles reversed: when her mom got cancer, Taylor became her caretaker. That kind of reciprocity, showing up for each other when it matters most, is what has shaped everything about who Taylor is today.
Now Taylor is the founder of Amborella Organics, alongside her husband, a botanical candy brand built on that same resilience. Its eco-friendly lollipops carry the message: eat one, then plant the stick to grow your own herbs and flowers.
Taylor didn’t study business but majored in literature. As she put it, that course of study was basic entrepreneurship training: find a point of view, then build the case to prove it. Sound familiar? And she hasn’t compromised her business values, as sustainability runs through every stage of production, no exceptions.
In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “All You Need Is a Lollipop and a Dream,” we talk about adversity turned into purpose, from growing up in and out of hospitals to caregiving, life as a mom, having a husband who is both a dreamer and business partner, and more.
