10/12/22 • 29 min

In this episode, we discuss Dr. Nina Vasan's MBA and professional journey, the importance of solving for impact and being open to change and innovation, in even the least likely places, and the power of sharing your story and letting people in, and how that allows others to share theirs and be authentic in how they lead, work and ultimately show up. We discuss seeking out and being inspired by mentors from all stages and phases of life. We dive into community and collaboration being key to her success and how she supports her own mental health every day. We also dive into what she's excited about for the future of mental health at Real and beyond. A fantastic chat that we somehow managed to keep within the 30 minutes. Enjoy and let us know your thoughts!
