Marissa Mistry: Finding Tangible Purpose

Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, Marissa Mistry had a very specific picture of what her future would look like and how she was going to get there. Then her competing interests led her to change the path of her education and career several times while ultimately staying true to herself. In this relaxed and vibrant conversation, we chat with the medical scientist-turned-business manager-turned-real estate rising star. We take a look at the courage it takes to sometimes admit to yourself and others that your best laid plans might no longer be the way forward, especially in the context of being the child of immigrant parents who just want the reassurance that you're well-adjusted and able to thrive in their adopted society.
