    Awards Recognized It, Grit Built It: How Identity, Belonging, and Mentorship Shape Future STEM Leaders

In this episode of Reddy2Grow, we sit down with Dara Meath, Global Technology Leader, CTO of Build-A-Bear, board advisor, founder, and mentor to women shaping the future of data and AI.

    Mini Holiday Special Sharing Our Why

    Imagine sitting across from the hosts of a podcast and being the one to ask the questions. Not about success. Not about milestones. But about why it all began. What sparked the idea? What doubts showed up early? What kept them going when no one was watching? That’s exactly what happened when 8-year-old Anika Reddy joined Reddy2Grow as a guest host and turned the tables on the hosts themselves. With curiosity, honesty, and fearless questions, Anika led a conversation that reminded us that growth stories do not start with wins. They start with purpose. From asking why this platform was created… → To uncovering the real motivations behind Reddy2Grow → To exploring how passion takes shape before confidence does → To hearing what the hosts wish they knew when they first started This episode became a powerful reminder that sometimes the most insightful perspectives come from the next generation. Inside the episode, we talk about: → Why asking “why” matters more than having all the answers → How beginnings are often messy and uncertain → What inspires leaders to keep showing up → How curiosity can open conversations that adults often forget to have → Why growth is not just taught, it is modeled 🎧 NEW EPISODE DROP: Sometimes the best way forward is to let a young voice ask the questions we stopped asking ourselves.
