What Happens When Success Defines Your Worth?: On Ambition, Self-Worth & Resilience | Jane Marie Chen, Co-Founder of Embrace and Bestselling Author

Jane Marie Chen's work was recognised by President Obama and supported by Beyoncé. Her startup, Embrace, has now helped more than one million premature babies.Embrace developed a radically low-cost infant warmer for places where traditional incubators aren't practical. It cost around 1% of a traditional incubator and could work without constant electricity.Jane had always been a high achiever. She went to Harvard and Stanford, and built her career around achieving ambitious goals. But when Embrace ran out of money and nearly shut down, she found herself at rock bottom. Exhausted, burned out and feeling that she had failed herself, her investors, her family and the babies she had devoted years to helping.What happens when failing at something makes you feel like you've failed as a person?This is one of the questions I explored with Jane in my latest episode.Claudine Ang is a former London Corporate Finance/M&A/Technology lawyer with a passion for innovation.
