The Brain Science of Building Resilience - Pathways to Empower

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Donna Volpitta, Founder of Pathways to Empower, located in Pound Ridge, NY, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We teach the brain science of building resilience, fostering mental wellness, and developing leadership to various audiences, including students, parents, and educators.

Tell us about yourself

I am an educator by trade, so I consider myself to be a translator of neuroscience. I am motivated each day because I truly believe that brain science is the missing piece that is critical in turning around the mental health crisis.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment was finding an incredible partner to work with.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The hardest part for me is trying to help people understand just how important it is to understand some simple brain science. It is life-changing, yet it is hard to get people's attention.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. It is a long process, so be ready to be in it for the long haul.
  2. If you do not fully believe in what you are doing, you might want to reconsider.
  3. Find great people to work with.

Where can people find you and your business?
