As a child of immigrants, our guest Punam Saxena understands the work and effort that goes into realizing the American Dream. She learned early on that to be successful, whether it was in school, business or life, you needed to have someone advocating for your success. She has taught parents how to do that for their children’s educational needs. This week she talks to us about the importance of showing up the same way for ourselves. She believes that success is not something that is handed to you. It is something that we must work hard for and actively seek out opportunities for growth.
