In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Dr. Ronak Mehta, founder and CEO of Nerdbugs, anatomically correct plush toys aimed at educating and engaging people about the human body.

Her mission with Nerdbugs is to demystify medical and mental health conditions, challenge stigmas and promote understanding and acceptance. Tune in and hear what Dr. Ronak tells us about branching out from the linear career path, where the inspiration from Nerdbugs came from, and why your mindset is everything when it comes to starting and building a business.
