In Honor of the Ukrainian People, I'm reposting this interview I recorded a few years ago with Yulia Kyrpa. When Yulia was a little girl growing up in the Soviet Union, she had a dream to explore the world. She dreamed of sailing across the Atlantic and visiting countries like the United States and Canada. But this was only a dream. Travel was restricted in the old Soviet Union, and sailing was not an option. Today, Yulia leads one of Europe's leading law firms, working with international companies like Samsung, Google, and the European Commission, she helps coordinate financial negotiations with her beloved country of Ukraine. And Yulia also leads a winning sailing team representing Ukraine in competitions around Europe. What's it take to be a #GameChanger?  Listen to her compelling story.
