"It's okay to take risks and it's okay to fail. If you're not failing, your goals probably aren't big enough." — Rob Ohno In this episode, Nozomi and Rob discuss: How Rob’s upbringing in Minnesota has impacted his professional life and desire to give back to the Asian community. Having courage to pursue your dreams (and putting in the work to do so). Lessons learned on the golf course. Key Takeaways: How we perceive other people’s perceptions of us is a personal experience for each individual, even those with similar backgrounds. Who you know and building relationships can and will open up doors that you never knew were possible. Taking action is not easy. But if it is something you want to do, take that action and doors will open.
