Dilan Dane, the CEO of System2 joins the podcast. Dilan grew up in Sri Lanka, South Asia, where his family’s income was less than $20/ a month. Through the kindness and generosity of others, Dilan was able to move to the United States at the age of 20, receiving a scholarship and financial aid to attend MIT. After passing out during a final exam, a professor offered Dilan the chance to retake an exam if he sought help immediately for his depression. This altered the course of his entire life.
