Dare to Outsmart your DNA with Dr. Jason Beeharilal & Ashish Mathur
Dr. Jason Beeharilal and Ashish Mathur will review common South Asian health issues, avoidable causes, and simple rules of thumb for being healthy. In America, not all the advice and wisdom about being healthy is totally applicable to South Asians.
Dare to Risk it All with Vishal Gurbuxani & Colleagues
Vishal Gurbuxani and his colleagues will recount their near-(professional) death experiences when starting their company. Entrepreneurship is not for the feint of heart or those lacking the utmost conviction.
Dare to Be You 10 Years Later with Dr. Sanjay Jain
Dr. Sanjay Jain will reflect on how his life was thrown far off course and how he clawed his way back to his purpose. Life is unpredictable and knocks us down over and over. We know it's not about falling, but getting back up.
