Episode 357 - The Magic of Normal with Dr. Maky Zanganeh

Becoming Your Best | The Principles of Highly Successful Leaders

Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship. Parents with their kids, friends, partners in business, co-workers, leaders, and their teams, if they don't trust each other, there is no way of creating a long-lasting, healthy, and productive relationship. If you’d have to guess, what would you say is the easiest way to build trust in a relationship?

In today's episode, the inspiring Dr. Maky Zanganeh joins us to share her unique view on leadership, relationships, and courage. Maky is the Founder and CEO of Maky Zanganeh & Associates; she is the Co-CEO at Summit Therapeutics, a Board Member of Pulse Biosciences, and the author of "The Magic of Normal." Maky is also a mother, a breast cancer survivor, and one of the responsible for the second-largest biopharma sale ever in the industry, leading a struggling biotech company into a deal for $21 billion.

We had a fantastic conversation about Maky's career in the pharmaceutical industry, the $21 billion deal with AbbVie Inc, and how she relied on her relationship-building abilities during that period. Maky also talked about her battle with breast cancer and how it changed her views on motherhood, family, and life.

Plus, we talked about her book "The Magic of Normal," what moved her to write it, what it can teach us about overcoming challenges, and so much more.
