What do you do when life hands you a big ol’ stanky basket of lemons? You make the most delicious remixed lemonade (with probably a splash of whiskey).

In this episode of Sway them my Color my guest and I dive into her journey of building a career during the 2008 economic crisis, and how she went from odd jobs to tech giants and is now in the innovation space. We discuss:

• bouncing back after a rescission

• why balancing stability and flexibility when going through periods of growth and change is key to survival 

• why ego driven leadership is bad for innovation and what actually works
