  We’ve had a number of entrepreneurs on the show over the years, but few have taken the kind of leap that Rola did when she stepped far outside her comfort zone and started a children’s clothing company. Back in Pharma and in leadership at Merck, Rola reflects on the lessons learned from both radical and lateral moves through her career. She shares her perspective on the power of curiosity, the impact of truly listening to the customer and the role of humility in her success.

In our conversation we dive into Clavin's business SUPRE Films, the impact his movies are having, and the specific focus his business has on bringing health stories to a wider audience. The PharmaBrands podcast is hosted by Neil Follett and Produced by Chess Originals.
