What happens when you lead through crisis, navigate political division firsthand, and then step into the world of AI?
You start questioning everything about how people connect, communicate—and who they trust. In this episode of Inside the Ascent, Jennifer Conrad sits down with Dany Cuellar, Founder & CEO of Wipp, to explore her journey from managing essential workers during COVID to building a platform designed to strengthen democracy through direct, transparent communication.
Wipp is built on a bold premise: people shouldn’t have to rely on secondhand narratives to understand the decisions shaping their lives. They should be able to hear directly from the source.
In this conversation, we dive into:
- What frontline leadership reveals about people, politics, and trust
- Why misinformation is ultimately a communication failure
- How Wipp is rethinking the relationship between constituents and leadership
- What it takes to build a mission-driven company in a divided, digital world .
This is a conversation about more than startups—it’s about rebuilding connection in a time when it matters most
This is Part 1 of a 3-part series.
