This episode was recorded in the summer of 2020 as part of an Asian Googler Network event I hosted, but it was such an inspiring talk that I wanted to share this with more people. Jeanne kindly agreed that I could publish this talk so here it is - I hope you enjoy it and walk away energized and inspired like I did.
