In this book, I trace my path through modest beginnings, early failures, corporate pressure, personal loss, and many moments of self-doubt-moments that, in hindsight, became turning points. With every setback, I learned that real leadership is not about power or position, but about purpose, empathy, and doing right by people, even when it is hard. From my early days on the field to eventually steering large, complex organizations, I have tried to build institutions that serve the many, not just the few. This is not just the story of my career. It is my journey to touch lives and build a better world ahead.
