Starting at the ripe age of 3 years old, Kirin Sinha thought she'd be a dancer - and took it so seriously her mom had to tell her to take it down a level. When an injury put a sudden end to her dream, she ended up at MIT, imagining life as a professor. Instead she started a national nonprofit for young girls, Shine, before founding the groundbreaking augmented reality startup Illumix. They've so far secured $13 million in VC funding, been named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2020, and spotlighted by Google as a partner in the AR game. Kicking off season 2, Kirin explains why being forced to race up and down stairs doing math helped shape who she is, what makes a successful entrepreneur, her secret to building rock-solid confidence, and why everyone should do the 'Genie test.'
