In this podcast Dr. Wendy Ingram, PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology and Co-Founder sand CEO of Dragonfly Mental Health, a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating excellent mental health explains how her values inspired her to advocate for mental health in academia. She talks about her values, specifically around wanting to helping others, wanting adventure and flexibility and how that led to her work. We discuss the challenges around getting a PhD and starting a nonprofit. We also discuss the challenges around justifying financial investment in a nonprofit and the need to provide vision, having enough passion that can inspire and ultimately "sell" the ideas. Getting into the details of the overall need around mental health, highlighted Dr. Ingram's passion and validated why her investment of time and money will be successful and helpful in doing good for society. Wendy Ingram is a Money Matriarch who is inspired to harness the power of money for good. Join us to be inspired.
