Today I’m joined by the indefatigable Robin Farmanfarmaian
Robin is a Professional Speaker, serial entrepreneur, and angel investor in nanotech and cutting-edge AI software for pharma, creating a better future for our health. Her passion is patient empowerment as expressed in her first book: The Patient as CEO; How Technology Empowers the Healthcare Customer.
In this no-holds barred interview, Robin reveals how the tipping low point of her life - when due to ill health and medical misdiagnosis she was a shut-in her mid 20s on high levels of opioids – led her to wean herself off enough methadone to bring down a horse and take charge of her own health and life finding new pain doctors and a correct diagnosis of Crohn’s disease.
Candid at all times, Robin shares how she achieved thought leadership status in a traditionally male-dominated world.
We also learn how she:
- can say no and set healthy boundaries (including positive ways to switch off and sleep soundly at night even when immersed in the world in which we live or planning for the future one dominated by A.I.).
- went beyond being a shut-in to live life to the full, playing ice hockey for Boston University before joining the first consumer facing genetic testing company where she wrote the algorithms scientifically read your genes to allow correct preventive medicine.
- trod a path to become an angel investor: co-founding companies in tissue engineering and cryopreservation.
- found herself side-lined by the men in Silicon Valley, drew on her inner steel and the tenacity of an upbringing by strong women and decided to change the game to become a professional speaker, author and thought leader so no one could ignore her anymore.
- leads by example, hones her entrepreneurial mindset, stays at peak physical and mental fitness and creates a living space that is perfect for her. And how she helps other women and pays it forward and can help you become the CEO of your own amazing life.
- can help you extend your life as she is an expert on life extension and longevity
