204 - Puerto Rico - Giving Back

<p class= "m_-6573188188353171153bard-text-block m_-6573188188353171153style-scope"> I am delighted to welcome Dr. Carmen Landrau to this week's podcast episode. Carmen is a cardiologist, a professional speaker, a mom of 3 kids, and is from Puerto Rico. How Carmen balances work and home life is fascinating and her method of getting help to those in need in Puerto Rico is amazing. Those of you who listen regularly will know that I become obsessed when there is a natural disaster so I was thrilled to have Carmen on the show.</p> <p class= "m_-6573188188353171153bard-text-block m_-6573188188353171153style-scope"> Carmen and I met in California at a conference for entrepreneurs.

It was then that I learned Carmen’s family lives in Puerto Rico and that she has given to the cause in a very tangible way. I just knew I wanted to share her story with you.</p> <p class= "m_-6573188188353171153bard-text-block m_-6573188188353171153style-scope"> Carmen and I agree that nobody will save you in life. As women, we need to get more bold with our solutions and not wait to be asked to fix something.</p> <p class= "m_-6573188188353171153bard-text-block m_-6573188188353171153style-scope"> Carmen’s mom, sister, and extended family are still in Puerto Rico.
