Entrepreneur and philanthropist Sunny Gurpreet Singh kicked off the 2024-25 season of the Albers Executive Speaker Series with this recorded fireside chat with Seattle University President Eduardo Peñalver. Singh is the founder of global healthcare technology company Edifecs and the Roundglass organization that supports programs and initiatives in India promoting health, wellness, the environment and more.

In this conversation, he talked about his journey from India to Montana and Seattle, what he learned in jobs as varied as engineering to working in an Alaskan fishing boat, and how he realized his calling as an entrepreneur at 32. Key to his success was his openness to what each day would bring him. "Let every day, every job, everything you do be an experience in figuring out who you are," Singh advised the audience made up mostly of students. "Find your purpose."
