Season 5 Ep 12: Taking a Pause & Building Tenacity with Sumeena Gupta

I am SO excited to share this conversation with all of you. Working with women as a business mentor, Sumeena Gupta is on a mission to be the change — and after 25 combined years of corporate AND entrepreneurial experience, she's definitely got what it takes. Her work helps women build businesses that allow them to have freedom and impact while building wealth, with the ultimate result of generational change.

The timing on this episode couldn't be better. I'm traveling at the moment, and that's something Sumeena and I discussed at length:

• how traveling changes the way you look at the world — and your business
• the power of discomfort and how it helps you build tenacity
• why you should pause, question everything, and then take action on the answers

...and so, so much more.

"Problem solving in those [travel] situations makes you come back to your business and realize that you can do this. The problems we deal with in our business are nothing compared to those problems! [...] The beauty is, I know for me, I came back to my business with a lot more empathy. Empathy for what needed to be done, for how people were impacted by my work, who I wanted to contribute to, what I wanted to support. That real understanding of what's out there and what needs our attention... you see it and you can't unsee it."
