Today on the show we have Jasmine Rukim. In the interview you hear me refer to her as Jasmine Russell, that’s because we spoke to her just before her wedding. Jasmine is the CEO and co-founder of Monicat Data- a strategic agency providing data management and technology solutions for the creative economy. She also teaches as an adjunct professor of creative project management at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Jasmine is an incredibly thoughtful, intelligent and kind hearted person. Every time I speak with Jasmine I’m fully locked in because she is so intentional in the way she communicates. She’s a calming force - she’s one of those people that after you spend time with you are like - ah I feel so much more zen just by being around you. When can we hang out again? Jasmine’s story shows us how trauma can have an impact on our professional life and entrepreneurs in particular face a unique set of challenges. Today’s conversation with Jasmine includes discussion of gun violence so if that’s a difficult topic for you, please take care while listening. ‘Did You Notice’ Segment Resource: Want to connect with Jasmine?
