Komal Minhas - Founder, KoMedia Inc and Producer of Dream, Girl
Sometimes, just when you think you have the world on a string, life chooses that very moment to remind you you're not in control. What's that saying...if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans? It feels unfair at the time, but if we're lucky enough to survive those moments, we can usually find what Komal Minhas refers to as collateral beauty. Otherwise known as a silver lining...the ancillary lessons we can take from a miserable experience to help us not only get through it, but thrive on the other side.
That kind of resilience is one of the most important skills for entrepreneurs, or anyone really, to master. My guest this week has that skill mastered in spades. In her mid-twenties, Komal Minhas was starting a bright career as a film producer and distributor and in a partnership with a good friend that resulted in the feature length documentary, Dream, Girl. Just a few short months before the film was to premier at the White House, and being named to Oprah's Super Soul 100 list, she was diagnosed with cancer. In this episode, Komal tells us what happened next, how she survived only to face another medical emergency, and what she's doing now with the abundant learning she has taken away from these experiences.
