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.
