Episode notes

One year ago, a chance meeting at the South Summit in Spain sparked a conversation that would inspire this very episode of the Darin Olien Show. My guest Robyn O’Brien is the definition of unstoppable, successful, and unbelievably interesting.

Robyn truly is a multifaceted human which leads us to have a multifaceted conversation where we discuss about the transformative journeys of resilience and leadership, the complexities of physical and mental healing, the personal courage required to challenge systemic issues, the importance of authenticity, female empowerment, and balancing high achievement with self-care, the potential for a more conscious and values-driven approach to leadership and finance, and so much more.

Robyn O'Brien is a best selling author, most recently of Seeding Innovation, on leadership and courage, and she is a Partner at Montcalm, an impact investment platform, redefining the financial system with a deep commitment to transparency, diversification, sustainability and performance. She is a Fulbright scholar, author, investor, advocate and keynote speaker on leadership, courage and global food systems. In 2020, she was recognized on Forbes Impact 50 List for her work at the intersection of agriculture and climate.
