About this listen
What does it mean to lead with empathy, discipline, and cultural pride?In this episode of Embracing the Journey, I sit down with Monica Jonas, a global executive and startup founder whose path—from NASA to media to leadership —reveals how heritage, creativity, and resilience intertwine to shape authentic leadership.Monica opens up about growing up as the daughter of Polish immigrants in New York, learning piano from her mother (a Juilliard-trained musician), and the discipline and empathy those lessons instilled. She shares how those formative years shaped her leadership style—balancing rigor with heart—and how she’s now stepping into the “zero-to-one” startup world to reimagine how people find meaningful work and connection.Together, we explore the influence of culture on confidence, why creativity matters in leadership, and what it truly means to find joy and authenticity in the work you do.🎧 Whether you're a leader, parent, or creative, this episode is a reminder that our roots aren’t barriers—they’re the foundation we rise from.
