From Ukrainian Refugee to Influential Attorney: Marina Kats' Inspiring Journey and Advocacy

Are you ready to have your perspectives challenged and heartstrings tugged? Our guest for this episode, Marina Kats, is a successful attorney originally from Ukraine who has first-hand experience aiding Ukrainian refugees. She’s been recognized by the Archbishop of Ukraine with a gold medal, yet her journey doesn’t stop at merely providing aid. Marina sheds light on the complex politics involving these refugees who're given a temporary protection status by the US, but not employment authorization. She passionately speaks about her fundraising efforts for food and necessities, and the commendable response of the Polish government in welcoming refugees.

Furthermore, Marina's personal story is nothing short of inspiring. Imagine landing in Philadelphia in 1979, with zero knowledge of the English language, then fast forward to present day where she's the founder of a reputed litigation firm and a board member of Temple University. Marina's journey embodies resilience, hard work, and a relentless curiosity for learning. As she shares her path to success, she emphasizes the importance of the right attitude and embracing opportunities as they come. Plus, don't miss her interesting vision for the future - flying cars and an overwhelming spirit of innovation!
