Exploring her passion for food was never first on Helena Faustin's list of career goals or aspirations. Though she always had a love for cooking, Helena spent most of her adult life working in the NICU as a registered nurse. Then, the pandemic hit and she found herself in desperate need of release and a way to escape the burnout of the hospital. Inspired to pick up her cooking utensils, Helena started sharing her zest for Caribbean cooking online and almost 500,000 followers later...the rest is history. Helena shares the many lessons she has learned along the way during her #dreamdriving journey and gives her tips for others who are interested in unabashedly exploring their passions and seeing where it takes them.

Sometimes the journey we call life - can take us on paths and roads we could never imagine. But, getting to a place where we embrace the journey isn't always easy.
In this REWIND episode from 2019, we chat with Craig Robinson (Princeton '83 and older brother to the iconic Michelle Obama) about his #dreamdriving journey and all the important stops he made along the way. Craig shares how the trek from the South Side of Chicago to the suburbs of Princeton University impacted his life and fostered in him an "intellectual confidence" that has stayed with him his entire life. He then reflects on the value of taking RISKS and why the decision to venture back into the world of sports after a lucrative career in banking was one he doesn't regret. Craig also opens up about the major lessons he learned from important people in his life and gives tips for other dream drivers looking to find their way in life.
