Meet Dr. Colin Zhu: Bold Journey

We recently connected with Colin Zhu and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Colin, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let's start with resilience - where do you get your resilience from?

So, this is for the question: Where do I get my resilience from?

I believe resilience is a combination of how we respond to life events, our experiences, and what we decide to do with them, as well as the lessons learned from different types of mistakes, perceived missteps, and failures.

For me, in particular, resilience is built and evolving while not giving up at the same time. It involves understanding that there is a bigger problem to solve, and it's bigger than just me. I am motivated by the simple fact of needing to make as much of an impact as possible and working in the space that I work in. This allows me to creatively think of many different types of solutions to get there.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
