  A Lawyer's Evolution from Prison to Purpose with Rashmi Airan

  Sep 19, 202633 min

  Rashmi Airan is a leadership expert and transformation strategist who once had it all, an Ivy League law degree and a high-powered Wall Street career. Then, a spectacular fall landed her in federal prison. Rather than let that failure define her, she rebuilt her life and now helps leaders and organizations do the same: face hard truths, build trust, and grow through discomfort instead of avoiding it. In this episode, she shares lessons from her book All Rise and its RISE framework, making the case that real growth only comes from moving through pain, not around it.
