b'Let me tell you: Leila Janah is unlike anyone I\\u2019ve ever met. She\\u2019s compassionate, bold, and a total powerhouse leading up two large (very different) companies, united by a common social mission to end global poverty by giving work to people in need. As a busy founder and CEO, she\\u2019s under intense stress all the time. In 2017, she logged nearly 500,000 miles and 44 days (!!) in the air. Then, an unexpected #hurdlemoment happened. She was at a conference in Helsinki that December when she felt a pain in her abdomen and was rushed to the ER. Doctors told her if she had not had an emergency surgery, she would have died. Post-surgery, she developed an infection, was hospitalized for two weeks, and once she was out\\u2014leaned into her relationships and love for kite surfing to help her recover. \\n\\nIn episode 54, she gives some insight as to what life\\u2019s like in some of the world\\u2019s poorest countries, and we chat about how she manages it all while making time for her most valuable relationships. Emily\\u2019s note: since recording episode, Leila announced that she has a rare but treatable form of cancer called epithelioid sarcoma.
