My guest today is Jessica Janzen, the Co-Founder of The Love for Lewiston Foundation - a charity focused on treatments and finding a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
Jessica is an advocate for rare diseases, mental health, women empowerment and most of all joy. Sheโs also a Keynote Speaker, Author and Coach.
During our conversation we cover everything from pity parties to policy changes.
Other topics include:
How to use pain as rocket fuel for change
The importance of grit when creating a brand
And how to build community with branded merchandise.
Jessicaโs story is truly inspiring and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
