We had the opportunity to speak with Tara about her entrepreneurial journey, Apps Without Code, and her advice to other founders. Her TED talk went viral, inspiring unlikely entrepreneurs to launch their own businesses. Tara runs a multi-million dollar school teaching people how to build apps, without needing to know how to code.
