It’s time to stop letting fear hold you back and step boldly into your courage! That’s exactly what Gina Gallaun, the visionary founder of Waves & Words, has done. I’m thrilled to have her on the podcast.
Gina played a pivotal role in building Wise, one of Europe’s largest fintech companies, and was part of a historic IPO at the London Stock Exchange. But after eight successful years, Gina decided to embark on a different path, a world trip that would reshape her life and lead to the creation of her book, Embrace Your Brave in 30 Days.
In this episode, we’re sharing how you can embrace braveness in your own life.
