In today's episode we talk all about:

  • How she overcame her fear of public speaking
  • Why she grew to love science later in life
  • The business-side of creativity
  • And her favourite joke (omg plz listen to this bit)

Our conversation with Emer is super-fun and light-hearted yet jam-packed full of entrepreneurial wisdom.
