S4 E4: Fighting for Success In the Face of Inequality with Clarissa Silva
Episode Overview:
The academia system can sometimes be described as archaic. There are various barriers that can deter people from success or even entry, and for minorities such as women of color and immigrants, trying to navigate such a system can be doubly difficult. But it doesn’t mean it’s impossible either.
This episode’s guest is world-renowned behavioral scientist, Clarissa Silva. She’ll join me to discuss her personal experiences and pressures as a first-generation Brazilian-American. Minorities such as her had to fight for success and change, but she believes in a future where the next generations no longer have to suffer that and are free to create and succeed.
Additionally, she’ll also discuss the Your Happiness Hypothesis (H20) technique that aims to aid high-performing individuals who struggle with relationships. With a focus on decision-making, it makes us contemplate the choices we’ve made, the results that came from it, and what we can do to improve the outcomes for ourselves.
If you’re someone trying to go against the grain and achieve happiness and success, come and join us for this illuminating conversation!
