#1: Dr. Kira Radinsky - Founder, Diagnostic Robotics

How does an immigrant girl from the former soviet union born months after the Chernobyl disaster, whose single mother cleaned houses for their survival, turn into one of the world's top innovators? She had remarkable role models, dreamt big, and stayed true to it daily. “I sign my emails 'Change the world'. It’s not to tell other people, just to remind myself every day what I want to do today.” - Dr. Kira Radinsky. What compelled her to become an entrepreneur? Which superpower contributed most to her success? What's the most important lesson for fellow founders to take away from her founder journey thus far? How is AI helping us win the COVID-19 battle? This and more on our very first episode of the Time To Build podcast - a show aiming to inspire founders to dream bigger and live better through the stories and insights of the world’s most bold and successful entrepreneurs. Hosted by serial entrepreneur and TechAviv founder, Yaron Samid. Inspired by Marc Andreessen's call to arms; It's Time to Build.
