PEERS

When it comes to picking a career, our choice can often be traced back to the influence of family. It was the gentle encouragement of her parents to pursue what fulfilled her internally that helped this week’s guest find her calling. It’s that calling — to give back and make a difference — that has Bani Singh on a mission to revolutionize the way we approach mental health care.

In this episode of PEERS, we’re joined by Bani Singh, Co-Founder of Now&Me to talk about saying goodbye to external validation, finding the right time to take your side hustle full-time, and how to get comfy with the wild ride that is entrepreneurship.
