Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? If your answer is no, according to my guest on the podcast today, Arlyne Simon, that's ok. She still doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up and she lives what she calls a multi-passionate life, as an inventor, biomedical engineer, an author, an entrepreneur and who knows what’s next? When she is not inventing or leading project teams developing medical diagnostic equipment, Arlyne is inspiring little girls into STEM careers through her writing. She takes them on science adventures with the main character in her books, Abby, a little black girl with huge afro puffs who is curious about the world and invents stuff she wants to see. Arlyne inspires me to dream the life I want  and I am sure she will light the same fire in you after listening to her story. Three takeaways from this episode: Bet on yourself- believe in yourself enough to put your passions and voice out there in the world and trust that it will bloom. Your got this- your perspective is appreciated and welcome in all spaces and you belong in all of them You don’t have to know what you want to be at all times of your life- follow your curiosity and don’t box yourself Arlyne’s website: http://arlynesimon.com/ Arlyne’s company: https://www.timouns.com/ Follow Arlyne on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arlynesimonphd/ If you loved this episode, buy me a coffee on here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BsquaredC Also follow BsquaredC on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/b_squaredc/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bsquaredc --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bsquaredc/support
