My name is Lisa Nichols, and I have spent the last 30 years as both the CEO of Technology Partners and as the mother to Ally, our daughter with Down syndrome. Down syndrome occurs when someone is born with an extra chromosome, but for Ally, her “something extra” goes beyond her DNA.

  • Inspiration Meets Business Leadership

    Lisa’s podcast is my all-time favorite. I share episodes with everyone I can think of! She hosts a wide range of guests, from former Top Gun pilots to female leaders to real estate gurus to technologists. The common denominator is that they all share their “something special” with the world through serving others. Her Christian perspective permeates throughout the episodes, but this podcast is for anyone interested in great business leadership. You won’t want to miss it!
