How does a science-grad become a leading voice in sports media? In this episode of Courageous Dialogues, viral reporter Isha pulls back the curtain on the WNBA’s revenue sharing, the resilience of Matildas star Hayley Raso, and the power of being an "accidental expert."
In the spirit of IWD 2026: Balance the Scales, we explore the need for inclusive justice and why Isha believes in one core mission: "The biggest thing in life is to be happy, be kind and make a difference."

Beyond the glossy pitches and high-stakes funding, the startup world is built on a foundation of grit and radical resilience.
