Listen now
Description
The world is in good hands if we have people like Gitanjali Rao becoming the leaders of tomorrow.  This inventor, aspiring scientist, UNICEF ambassador and the first ever TIME kid of the year is an example to all of us. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in Qatar at the World Innovation Summit for Education.  I really enjoyed talking to her for Episode 28 in Season 2 and was blown away by her eloquence, self awareness and authenticity at such a young age. The things she said in this interview speak for themselves! Most noteworthy is her observation that you cannot change what people think of you but that you can change how you react to them. There will be people who will shoot you down but the end you have the same amount of power as everyone else.  Please enjoy these notes to Nono of Gitanjali Rao.
