In this week's episode, I speak with Robin who has spent her whole career creating new roles and leading the way in the technology space by saying yes to any opportunity that was presented to her. She is the definition of getting out of your comfort zone, especially when you consider most of the time she was the only woman on a team or in a department. I think her story will inspire everyone who listens.
