Girls Who Run the World

For episode 17, I’m joined by Sam Price - Manager, Operations & Finance at Our Gorongosa.

About Sam, from Sam: “I was born into a family of New York Jews, raised in Los Angeles, and came into adulthood in a sleepy beach town in Northern California. I am an eternal optimist through and through. I believe that a walk in the woods, a dip in a body of water, and some time spend in the sun will cure most, if not all, of my woes. True to my Sagittarius nature, I would like nothing better than to spend my life traveling the world, meeting people from all walks of life, and getting to experience other cultures. If through my work I can give back and add value to this world along the way, I would call that a win!”

• How saying yes to things has created huge growth in her career
