  • Great Podcast!

    I’m not one to always write a review unless I feel compelled, and this podcast is a new found favorite. It’s so relatable and refreshing; which you don’t always find. I LOVE how Liz keeps her guests in what I call the “messy middle” as they tell their stories; it’s the absolute best part and it’s the part that most quickly pass through. Liz’s desire to stay in that “part” of the story longer, makes for a profound podcast - one that has meaning and feels authentically fulfilling, embarking so muc... more

  • Real encouragement

    Sometimes, leadership podcasts can come off as aspirational but unrealistic. Liz knows her stuff and is a successful businesswoman and leader, but she has mastered the art of still being a real person you feel like you could actually be friends with. Her genuine enthusiasm and curiosity comes across in every episode, and I always come away feeling hopeful and also entertained (did I mention she’s so funny?!) The guests are fantastic and she has a way of helping us relate to the real humans behin... more
