S3, Ep. 2 | Living a Life of Innovation: Finding your Fight and Shaping the Future

“Give yourself permission to dream about what the world could be – and then – be part of this creation.”

Her goal is to be the love child of Bill Nye The Science Guy and Beyoncé! In this episode, host Susan MacKenty Brady welcomes innovator and social entrepreneur Jessica O. Matthews to explore how making innovation a way of life can spark personal and professional growth. She opens up about her own experiences, sharing the challenges she faced while creating new solutions and the lessons she learned along the way.
