Conquering Literal & Figurative Mountains with Van

This week we are graced with the presence of my friend Van, who now owns the title of second guest of the pod! 

In our typical fashion, Van and I made a last minute decision and met in the mountains of North Carolina last weekend. We spent time hiking and catching up, and this episode catches the tail-end of our conversations from the weekend. 

Van shares the challenges of being a first-generation college student and a female engineer, and amazes me with her ability to persevere, never letting anything stop her from achieving her goals. I am lucky to call Van my friend, and I know that everyone who hears her story will be inundated with inspiration.
