"If someone else knows how to do it, teach me. You teach me and I will give you back whatever I can. Knowing that you're not alone, reaching out, asking for help. Never be afraid to ask for help because if you don't ask, you don't get. And the worse that could happen is someone could say no. But if you didn't ask, you're never going to get." Sophia Yen MD, CEO and Co-founder of Pandia Health.
