Episode 073: Bettering the Lives of Billions, Part I

Every week, this show discusses how we can build better lives for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. It isn't often, though, where we get the chance to hear from someone who has helped over a billion people - literally - do so. This week and next, JD and Ashley sit down for a wide-ranging conversation with just such a person - Deena Mehta, the first woman in India's history to lead a Board of Trade, and a leading figure in pushing through important economic, political, and legal reforms that modernized India's economy into a global powerhouse. Deena utilized her position to better the lives of those who live in the most populous country in the world, and has long dedicated herself to helping Indian women, in particular, better find economic and personal success in their country and abroad. Take a listen to Deena's remarkable stories and experiences, and be sure to stay tuned next week for Part II of the conversation!
