ROBIN PASCOE is the author of five books about global living.

Robin says:
- Giving credit to those that came before us is so important. We would'nt be who we are today without the work of those who came before us.
- Robin predicted the "train wreck" of social media 20 years ago. "When young people don't see the "eyes" of those they are hurting, this will be extremely damaging to society".
- It's about resilience....her experience of 'carrying on' despite an early childhood trauma of losing my mother...I credit it with finding role models of resilience, a subject I wrote about for Globe Amplify last month: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-amplify-why-seniors-should-share-their-stories-with-young-people/
- It's about taking on a huge challenge with https://www.maplebear.ca in our 60s and building a global brand without anyone really knowing us and ploughing money from the success of it into the new venture of Finca Cantaros....
