🔸 Balancing standardization and innovation in healthcare
🔸 Why the massive cost and nuances of enterprise AI are a wake-up call for health systems
🔸 Acknowledging what you don't know and building the right team

Dr. Gupta's journey to expanding his impact beyond the clinic began with medical training at Columbia University, followed by cardiology and interventional cardiology fellowships at the University of Utah. A former faculty member at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), he served as Program Director for the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship and helped launch one of the first structural and valvular heart disease programs on the West Coast.

🔸 The role of ego (and how to take yourself out of the equation to get better outcomes)
🔸 And why she believes everyone should take a sales role at least once in their career

My job is to facilitate the best possible outcome for my client—and that means listening for what truly serves.”]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68050129Sun, 05 Oct 2025 17:28:00 +0000Aashi AroraThis week on Leaders Creating Rukus, we sit down with multilingual commercial real estate broker Nicole Lu, who shares her fascinating path from world traveler to Los Angeles dealmaker. Nicole has worked in seven languages across Asia, Africa, and...
But her story is more than real estate. From studying Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese at UC Berkeley, to earning her MBA at INSEAD in France and Singapore, to nonprofit work in South Africa, Nicole’s career has been about building bridges across cultures, industries, and people. Today, as President of INSEAD Los Angeles, she continues to champion global connection while leading a top-producing brokerage team.

In this episode, Nicole opens up about:
🔸 Why listening is the most powerful sales skill you can have
🔸 How language fluency sharpened her ability to read people beyond words
🔸 Why commercial real estate is still male-dominated—and how women can thrive in it
🔸 The role of ego (and how to take yourself out of the equation to get better outcomes)
🔸 And why she believes everyone should take a sales role at least once in their career

💡 Leadership Lessons from Dr. Deepti Gandhi’s Episode:

🔸 Silence Isn’t Strength.  Dr. Gandhi reminds us that there’s no medal for “toughing it out.” Breaking the stigma around menopause starts with open, informed conversation—at home and at work.

🔸 Symptoms Aren’t Just Hot Flashes.  From brain fog and joint pain to mood changes and sleep issues, hormonal shifts affect focus, performance, and well-being in ways most leaders aren’t trained to recognize.

🔸 Education Is Power.  Most medical professionals aren’t taught menopause care. Dr. Gandhi encourages leaders and individuals to seek out accurate, evidence-based resources to make empowered decisions.

🔸 Workplaces Must Evolve. Menopause impacts productivity, promotions, and retention. Creating inclusive, informed spaces is not just compassionate—it’s strategic.🔸 Midlife Is a Mirror.  Instead of viewing symptoms as setbacks, Dr. Gandhi reframes midlife as an opportunity to pause, realign, and reclaim purpose—for your health, your leadership, and your legacy.💬 “You are the leader when it comes to your health. And leadership means believing people when they tell you what they’re going through.”🎧 Listen in now to explore how health, identity, and leadership intersect—especially in today’s evolving workplaces.
