In my time as an entrepreneur, I have had the pleasure of meeting many dedicated people who help others to live their best lives possible. My next guest, Pasna Sallis, is a true example of how to combine professional knowledge with energy and drive to make a difference. She lights up the world and never shies away from a challenge.
In our chat, we talk about Pasna’s background in occupational therapy and how she went on to create the Weekday Wow Factor, a community that supports older adults. Pasna’s passion is infectious, and I hope listening inspires you in your work or in your community to connect with those around you and make life a little bit more fun and adventure filled.
