Colleen Cutcliffe, co-founder and CEO of the groundbreaking probiotics company Pendulum Therapeutics, started the company with a big goal in mind: changing the way people think about their gut health. And on her journey, she’s had to challenge traditional – and sometimes outdated – thinking from the medical community and investors. In this episode, Colleen told us how she’s been able to disrupt the industry, and gives her advice for making changes in any workplace.

In this episode, Colleen shares:

How she convinced the dean of her PhD program to let her stay – despite almost getting kicked out
Why her daughter’s birth inspired her to start Pendulum
How she dealt with being told “no”
The ways she’s cultivated trust and transparency with her team
Why she’s got Halle Berry on speed dial
