She identifies the essential skills that are required to adapt to the rapidly changing world of work. Karena shares her experiences and insights on how parents can guide their children through these transitions, emphasizing the importance of emotional skills and what she refers to as "heirloom skills".

Karena shares her personal history, which I found utterly fascinating, from her early life in Uganda to her career on Wall Street, giving special emphasis on how those experiences shaped her perspective on resilience and opportunity. She offers valuable advice for those navigating change, highlighting the need to anchor oneself in past strengths while embracing the uncertainty of the future.

Join Nina and Karena as they explore the power of community, the importance of adaptability, and the enduring wisdom of past generations in facing life's challenges.
