21. Dermatologist and entrepreneur Dr. Fatima Fahs
Description
"I came to this point where I am like 6 months post partum at this point. So I've gone back to work, you know was in the swing of things, was working at that point 3 sometimes 4 days per week and I just was not happy in either situation. I wasn't fully happy at home and I wasn't fully happy at work and I told my employer 'I love you guys and I love it here but I just think I need to step away' and they were all like 'What are you gonna do?' And that was the first time in my life where I had no plan and it was terrifying."

- The motivation behind starting her company and then actually doing it
- The idea that if you are capable of getting through medical training you are capable of anything
- Her "crash and burn moment"
- Deciding to step away from medicine for a time without a plan
- What she's up to now
