Welcome to PGX #215
PGX is simple. I sit with people who’ve lived through something and/or made it big.
This isn’t meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).
This space is different. It’s their story, as they experienced it.
In this episode, I spoke to Dr. Riri G Trivedi — Indian Mental Health Professional.
