In this episode #133 w Bec Milgrom learn about:
Her sunrise in Melbourne, Australia being the middle child with two siblings and influences of her entrepreneurial parents.
Bec talks about being the teachers pet in high school, the fullness of her imagination and aspirations after she graduated. I really enjoyed the human-ness Bec shows in this conversation about her journey of self exploration by traveling the world and working in the craft beer industry post university and for many years which led to the US and the realisation that driving change using capital is her calling which led to co-founding Tripple with her two brothers.
