In the video, Dr. Robyn Odegaard, the guest on the show "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart," shared her story of overcoming challenges and her advice for the audience.

Robyn grew up in a strict Christian family and was married off at a young age to a man who turned out to be abusive and in debt. After eight years of marriage, she was kicked out and left to fend for herself. She later married again, but this marriage also ended in divorce. Despite these challenges, Robyn persevered and went on to earn a doctorate.

Robyn now helps people who are struggling in their personal or professional lives. She is known as the "Mental MacGyver" because she can help people solve complex problems.
