This talk gets teams and attendees inspired with real life stories of creating a new idea from scratch, enduring hardship and failure, and ultimately, finding success in the ashes. It's a heart wrenching, funny, and engaging talk that gets people thinking about their fears and why they avoid the scary stuff in their career and their life.

This engaging talk covers my real-life experience of being rejected from 50 investors before finally getting a YES, and ultimately building my dream startup. This talk can be informative for men, to give them a deeper insight as to how their actions and assumptions affect women in the workplace, as well as for women, to give them the inspiration they need to get up and ask for what they deserve. I raised .5M USD for my startup and reached over 1M users within 2 years of launch.
