Driven Young
Byron Dempsey
I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in

18. Failing High-school to Graduating Harvard with Gabriela Rosa and Her Insane Story
Today is a very interesting episode I am joined by Gabriela Rosa a world-renowned fertility specialist, host of the Fertility Challenge™ and the founder and clinical director of the Rosa Institute—an organization dedicated to helping couples create healthy babies, despite previous reproductive challenges.So why have I bought on a fertility specialist?Because today we don’t speak about fertility but instead get into Gabriella’s insane story, how she went from a 17 out of 100 end of year score (ATAR) to graduating from Harvard 20 years later, how she has built a successful business and served over 130,000 clients worldwide, the importance of work ethic, how she travelled across the world at 15 and lived on her own without financial support and learnt 2 new languages and much more.Gabriela is an Author, speaker, business owner, mother and a very inspiring person as you will soon find out. Please pay attention to how insane her growing up story is and how she completely failed highschool but was still able to build a successful business, get accepted into Harvard and generate enough money to cover the insane Harvard tuition fees + back and forth travel between Australia and America while still running a business, pass the course and raising 2 children.So sit back and enjoy because there is so much gold in this episode and I know you are going to get so much value from it.Check out Driven young on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseyPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/Find Gabriella https://naturalfertilitybreakthrough.com/Support the show Hosted on Acast.
