Ep 1#01 Why I started Diverse Minds and my journey.
I’m really excited to introduce the first episode of my podcast, and I thought I’d use the opportunity to talk about why I started my company, Diverse Minds.

As teenagers, they do young enterprise programs and know or have an idea of what they want to do. I have to say, that wasn't me.
