Episode #5
Exploration
With optoelectronics Dr. Amrita Prasad, Superstar of STEM and coastal expert Dr Jennie Mallela, aerospace engineer Bianca Capra, digital leader Michelle Melbourne, and inventor and musician Professor Christine Charles. Moderated by g4g Founder, Melissa Rancourt.
During one hour, we had the immense pleasure of sharing amazing stories with these inspiring speakers. Their messages on staying curious and being open to exploration in all we do resonated with absolutely everyone. They encouraged us to find role models who can push us in the direction of our passion or tribe, not being afraid to learn differently or try new things (because the spark for inspiration could come at any time), and remembering that you don’t always need to know the solution if you know the path.
Curious to learn more? The replay is available below, as well as some of our favorite snippets! And if you only have a few seconds and want to get inspired, discover our favorite quotes of the day by our brilliant speakers!
