"I wear lots of orange, overuse 'awesome', and generally live in a hurry."

Nataly Kogan is the co-founder and CEO of Happier, a leading digital wellness company that combines interactive tools, bite-sized, expert-led courses with a positive, supportive community to help people become happier and healthier in their everyday lives. Nataly immigrated to the US with her family when she was 13 years old and learned first hand that it’s possible to find small happy moments in even the most difficult of circumstances.

In her CreativeMornings Boston talk, Nataly will discuss how chance played a role in creating Happier - and how it's both chance encounters (with people, books and ideas) and chances that she took (and missed) that led to Happier.
