UNLEASHED.
THE GAME CHANGERS.
Paola Diana’s video and audio podcast has several candid conversations with successful women and men who are thriving and bucking traditions, with Paola and her guests covering everything from science to religion, from love to politics, from healing to building new businesses.
Paola speaks to scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors, activists, athletes, and philanthropists, all inspiring and worthy of visibility, with fascinating stories to tell, in her signature, no filter, no hypocrisy style.
Paola takes us back to deep content, empowering, and inspiring in a shallow world where the exterior tends to count more than anything.
