https://www.olivebranchmentor.com/

Welcome back dear viewers to the Olive You Podcast. Today we extend the olive branch to two young, budding professionals, who are both Full Stack Web Developers, Sarthak and Shakila. We finally had a chance to deviate from healthcare to talk about what its like to establish yourself in a new country, giving back to the community and share social media journeys. It was an amazing conversation that brought much value, and we hope it does the same for you!
