In this episode of PM Therapy, I sat down with Mehnaz Tabassum, a multipotentialite entrepreneur & PM who left a stable government job to build multiple ventures, including She-Leads, NL Eats, and CognicoAI. We dive into how she leveraged PM skills, mindset shifts, and modern tools like AI to scale her work, diversify income, and design a life she loves.

Mehnaz shares her journey of starting from scratch, managing multiple projects, and using PM as a life skill, not just a career tool.
