My guest today is the incredible Dr. Karen Wilson, director of West LA Neuropsychology and founder of ChildNEXUS. Using her background as a neuropsychologist and tenured professor, Karen took the bold step of leaving her tenure to start a business that would multiply the impact she would be able to have.

I know Karen’s experience of getting uncomfortable to attain extraordinary results will be inspiring to so many of you, and I can’t wait to hear about the bold steps it leads you to take!
