Today on the podcast we have Dr. Gigi Abel Samed. We have an incredible array of stories, insights, and wisdom to explore with her today. Starting with a story that she derived a deep meaning from a young age that has really shaped her life and her purpose and we get to see how that plays out in many different forms.

She spent a long time working in the health system and had many different personal struggles through that and is now on the verge of serving a brand new audience that she defines as the rebels and changemakers that we were ultimately here about at the end of this episode.
