Summary

How can you get the obstacles and adversities that are working against you...to actually work for you? My guest today is Laura Huang, a professor at Harvard Business School who has spent her career studying implicit bias in entrepreneurship and in the workplace. Her new book is called Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage. Laura describes EDGE as that elusive quality that gives you an upper hand and attracts attention and support. Some people seem to naturally have it. But the rest of us can create our own from the challenges and biases we think hold us back, and turning them to work in our favor....including financial challenges.
