Strength in diversity with Barbara Lampl - a podcast by Kat Brendel

Barbara Lampl is a “badass with a big heart” as her friends call her. And she’s not just a badass in business as a self-made entrepreneur, she’s also a badass in life. For a long time, she says she didn’t quite feel human. When she was 30 the explanation came: she is on the autism spectrum. Today, Barbara is a neurodiversity role model that champions strength in diversity, confidence in yourself, and embracing failure.

Tune in to this episode to hear from Barbara about:

• Why she decided to combine psychology and mathematics


• What older role models taught her about not caring about what other people think


• What gymnastics and mathematics taught her about failure


• Burning half a million with one of her first companies

• The intersection of science with intuition and spirituality


• Being a neurodiversity role model
