Becoming A Changemaker on Your Fertility Journey with guest Alex Budak

Read the full show notes at Dr. Aimee's website.

Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker."

If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show.

You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about:

"Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge."

Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has:

1. There's always another way
2. Existing at the edges
3. Learned Hopefulness / Learned Optimism
