Katerina Axelsson has shaped the last couple years around the model “you fail by quitting.” She applies this theory to her start-up company -- Tastry. During her time at Cal Poly as a chemistry major, she stumbled into the entrepreneurship program and eventually worked at the HotHouse in downtown San Luis Obispo. Through her company, Axelsson has essentially taught a computer how to taste and leads innovation in industries from wine to coffee.  www.davidkozuch.com/episodes/59
