As the first female wrestler on her high school boys\u2019 team, Cat owns the school record for getting pinned the most and fastest. Her bruises and losses prepared her to come alongside others who need to be \u201cscraped off the mat,\u201d shined up, and put back in the fight.

Cat\u2019s underdog spirit led her to launch three groundbreaking organizations:\xa0Hustle 2.0,\xa0Defy Ventures, and\xa0Prison Entrepreneurship Program. In 16 years, 8,500 incarcerated people have graduated from her programs. Her efforts have led 7,000 executives, entrepreneurs, and investors to volunteer as mentors and employers. The programs reduce violence and have produced industry-leading recidivism rates of less than 8%.
