Hmm.. I don’t know if I’d be able to attribute my inspiration to just one individual, but I definitely draw elements of inspiration from powerful icons like Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Susan Wojcicki, and of course my parents. “Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.”
