My guest, an academic and entrepreneur in Healthcare, grew up in a war zone and was heavily influenced by the selflessness of the doctors she witnessed there. She believes that healthcare should not be reserved for the wealthy, yet we take the healthcare system in the west, so much for granted.
We discuss nature vs nurture for education, admitting that she has a strong work ethic thanks to the open-minded support of her parents.
What drives her is her striving to fulfil a bigger purpose in life. In her lifetime, she wants to see the impact she is making on others. She is on a path of self-discovery, and knows what motivates her now, and appreciates that, that could change with time.
Her attitude is wise, believing that you don’t have to achieve the best, but you should allow yourself to enjoy all experiences, in the hope that they will make you a better person. She accepts that where will be dead-ends in learning about oneself, but that is what experimentation, adventuring and being open to new opportunities is all about - making mistakes. For my guest, if someone tells her she can’t do something, it drives her further.
We discuss this and so much more, this week on Scilence.
