Innovation, Violence, Entrepreneurship: Speaking with a Leader
Our interview today is with Mahima Shrestha, whose work is at an intersection where conversations around innovation, violence, entrepreneurship and policy all come together. "Perhaps because I work on the 'people are amazing' side of the human story I often get asked about the opposite- the horriffic things we human beings are capable of doing to ourselves and each other. Speaking of violence or suicide or child trafficking the two most common questions I get are: "why do people do that?" and "how can we curb large scale hate and violence?" Join Jeanne Catherine as she asks Mahima the big questions about how understanding human experience can transform human atrocity.
