Invest In Yourself

Today's guest is Dr. Cheryl Rowe-Rendleman, the Founder, Owner, and Managing Consultant at Omar Consulting Group, a team who advises and guides researchers and companies through the regulatory process. After graduating from Princeton with a Bachelor’s in Biology, Cheryl was poised to become a science teacher until the headmaster (politely!) told her that she should consider a different career path. Turns out, that was solid advice! After she graduated with a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Houston as #1 in the country for biochemistry, she completed a postdoc at UCSF, and the rest is history!

During our discussion, Cheryl tells some touching and hilarious stories about her ascent from teaching biology to actors’  children to traveling the world to eventually owning her own business. We discuss the impact a good teacher/mentor can make, how it feels when you finally find the job that fulfills you, and the unique way that Cheryl got herself a seat at the table in the proverbial “room where it happened.” This episode is a must listen!
