Believing in abundance and having the audacity to ask.

🌟 Are You Ready to Challenge the Status Quo in Innovation? 🌟

Imagine a world where every woman’s voice is heard, every immigrant’s potential is realized, and every minority founder has access to the resources they need. Sounds too good to be true? Not if Victoria Sandberg has anything to say about it!

I recently had the privilege of speaking with Victoria on the ‘Worth Having Podcast,’ and let me tell you, her story is nothing short of inspiring. From moving to Sweden for love to becoming a powerhouse in Malmo’s startup scene, Victoria’s journey is a testament to the power of audacity and belief in abundance.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

1. Authentic storytelling isn’t just powerful—it’s revolutionary. How can you use your unique narrative to drive change?
2. Community is everything. Victoria’s ‘She Told Me a Story’ initiative is creating safe spaces for women to connect, belong, and thrive. Where’s your tribe?
3. Immigrant women face unique challenges, but they also bring invaluable perspectives. How can we better harness this untapped potential in tech and innovation?
4. Networking isn’t just about collecting business cards—it’s about building genuine relationships. Are you networking or truly connecting?
5. Kindness and wellness in professional settings aren’t luxuries; they’re necessities. How can you prioritize these in your work culture?

👀 But here’s the kicker: Victoria’s not stopping there. She dreams of launching a micro VC fund for minority founders. Can you imagine the groundbreaking innovations we’d see with more diverse voices at the table?

🤔 So, I challenge you: How can you contribute to a more inclusive innovation ecosystem? What’s your audacious ask?

Remember, as Victoria says, “Believe in abundance and have the audacity to ask.” The world is waiting for your voice, your story, your innovation.
