Podcasts about for liz

For Liz, credit cards presented an opportunity to support the lifestyle she wanted. But as she first entered the working world after college, this lifestyle contributed to an increasing debt load. Eventually, she found her way to GreenPath but she wasn't ready to make major changes to how her finances were handled. Sometime later, her pride took a hit when her electricity was cut off. This motivated her to seek our GreenPath's support again… but this time, she was ready for a new approach. Hear her journey of how she transformed her mindset and moved towards a brighter financial future.

Twenty years ago, Liz Neumark was a mother to four kids under 10 and was just getting her catering company off the ground. One night, the two youngest pleaded with her to abandon bedtime and make latkes. Liz couldn’t resist. Today, latkes and the memory of that night hold a deep meaning. For Liz’s latke recipe, head to our digital recipe archive. 

Liz Lefkofsky and her husband, Eric Lefkofsky joined the Giving Pledge in 2013. For those not familiar, the Giving Pledge is an initiative started by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet that invites billionaires to give the majority of their wealth away. "He makes the money and I give it away," Liz joked of the division of labor between her husband—who has the co-founder title on companies like Tempus, Groupon, Echo Global Logistics, InnerWorkings, and Mediaocean—and her, the Executive Director of the Lefkofsky Family Foundation. The pledge was merely a comma in the sentence explaining Liz's lifetime of philanthropy and non-profit work. For Liz, giving is who she is, and that identity started in childhood when she lost her sister to a brain tumor, which resulted in her mother founding the American Brain Tumor Association. After spending her early career working in non-profits in Chicago, she continued her work with the Lefkofsky Family Foundation, which contributes to initiatives in education, human rights, medical research, and the arts. Today, through VING! she works to give teenagers the experience of philanthropy and the opportunity to be the eyes and ears of the foundation. VING! asks teenagers ages 14-18 living in the United states to answer the question, "If you had $1,000 to give, who would you give it to and why?" That simple question has garnered the support of celebrities like Kristen Bell (swoon) —especially during the current pandemic when VING! committed more than $250,000 to those in need. In the first five years of VING!'s existence, the project gave 300 total checks away, but during the COVID-19 crisis, they've more than doubled that number, Liz told me. "The delivery in-person is a precious moment ... the kids cry, the recipient cries and I cry almost every time," Liz said, noting that accommodations have been made to allow the teens to safely deliver these checks during COVID—either via Zoom or wearing masks and from a distance. Liz's big goal for the future? To inspire a new generation with empathy and giving. "This is $1,000 to give, but you can VING! every day," she said. "I just want VING! to be a moment and a movement where we can just do something kind for each other." Listen to this week's episode and share VING! with a teenager you want to see empowered to give.

Kirsty Young's castaway is the actress Liz Smith. Her story is a triumph of talent and perseverance over circumstance. Her mother died when she was tiny, her father walked out of her life and for many years she was brought up by her grandmother who was in mourning for her only child and her own husband. For Liz, acting and making people laugh was an escape from the often harsh realities of life, but she had to wait until she was 50 for her first real break - a role in Mike Leigh's film Bleak Moments. By that time, she'd raised her two children on her own with very little money and knew that this was her opportunity to prove what she could do. She won critical acclaim and was later awarded a Bafta for her appearance in Alan Bennett's A Private Function and finally, when she was in her 70s, she became a household name through her roles in The Vicar of Dibley and The Royle Family. Liz Smith recorded this programme in 2008, when she was 86 years old. Favourite track: Only The Lonely by Roy Orbison Book: A very large catalogue Luxury: A complete artist's set.

Liz Ingles an Ironman, performance coach, and a Landmark Worldwide seminar leader. She is being coached by her wife Jill Gass who is a performance athlete and performance coach (Revolution Coaching) They are working together to Race Across The West, a 900 plus mile cycling race from Oceanside, CA to Durango, CO. Racers from all walks of life step up to take on RAW, from professional cyclists to doctors and computer programmers. The race field is predominately amateur racers with full-time jobs and a lot of passion for the bike. Racers are men and women, ranging in age from 15 to 75. The reasons why this race takes on such a grueling challenge are wide in scope. For many, it is not a single reason, but a combination. Racers desire a true challenge, they want to set a record and share an experience with a group of friends. RAW is also a unique platform for raising money for charitable causes. For Liz, it's a personal challenge to show the world you achieve remarkable mental and physical achievements at any age. She is attempting to break a record for the fastest time in her age group. Also on the podcast, you will hear from Liz's strength coach, Frazer Hazlett who hails from Ireland and has done extensive work in the bike industry. he completed on the Irish National Track and Field team before moving to the USA where he discovered his talents in the triathlon and cycling world. In this episode we discuss: The mindset and physical demands of an Ironman and elite cyclist. The benefits and challenges of coaching your wife/life partner. The importance of strength training as a cyclist. The Race Across The West experience. Why the healthy and fit mantra and others are important to move you forward. How Landmark Worldwide helped Liz to create the possibility for her to complete an Ironman. Nutrition and lifestyle habits 3 months before race time. And much more... www.revolutioncoaching.com

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Liz Siver, former Microsoft executive for the U.S. Central Region, now General Manager for NeoPollard Interactive, a breakthrough company, leading  transformation of state lottery systems online.  Liz credited her “network: the people I knew and encountered” for introducing her to technology. She attended the  University of Dayton, graduating with a degree in English. “I kept it simple. It was hard to identify all opportunities, so I took a generic path.”  Liz worked her way through college. Among other assignments, she worked for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio; government of Montgomery County in Ohio; Berry Yellow Pages; and the university in a fund-raising role.  Post-graduation, Liz entered fund development, at Hospice of Michigan, largest state provider of care to those facing end-of-life challenges. “Whether it was grant-writing, special event planning or working with donors, it was an array of interesting experiences.”   After 5 years, “my network came to me,” alerting her to an opportunity as an event manager for the launch of The Somerset Collection in Southeast Michigan.  She worked for Forbes Properties managing that massive development and hired The Disney Company to implement the mall launch.  Through more networking Liz moved to her next challenge, as a marketing manager at Deloitte, a global professional services organization, providing audit, tax, consulting, enterprise risk and financial advisory services to companies, worldwide. “I spent the majority of my time on the audit side of the house, driving business development,” she said. After 3 years at Deloitte, “my network came to me again,” Liz said.  A PR firm worked with both Deloitte and Microsoft and connected Liz to one of the largest technology companies, of the 21st century. Two decades ago, “Microsoft had 23,000 employees, and now the company has 170,000 employees,” marveled Liz. “I went from learning technology to embracing and selling what the potential of technology could be. Fun times!”   Liz’s Microsoft tenure spanned 18 years, and 11 different roles. “The theme was learning, developing; and always be networking, keeping your eye out on the next potential opportunity to learn and grow.” She spent a lot of time on the road and jumped at any chance to lead teams or projects with diverse teams, as many as 100 people.  She also spearheaded the development of the Central Region’s Microsoft Women’s Leadership organization.  Liz “had the privilege” of spending time with (then-CEO) Steve Ballmer, “who always had a passion” for Detroit, and Southeast Michigan. “He was a visionary.  That vision became really broad.”  Liz loved and learned from tenure at Microsoft.  But, when she considered transitioning, “we had sold all states on ‘the cloud’. At my age, and career point, I thought ‘I have more to give. ‘What I wanted to do was to learn something new. And if I had the privilege of trying to transform an industry, wouldn’t that be exciting?!”  In a year of self-discovery, Liz said “the opportunity presented itself to run a joint venture.” She assumed the management of NeoPollard Interactive, with a parent company in Tel Aviv and Michigan-based HQ in Lansing.  NeoPollard is 50% owned by Israel-based NeoGames and a Winnipeg, Canada company in the lottery industry for decades.  “They have gaming legacy and deep relationships, globally, in the lottery industry.”  The company, “born online” and currently employing 82, works with state lotteries to move into the cloud; and “then provides services to be successful.”  In current mobile device-dominant environments, NeoPollard is trying to “help state lotteries build an additional opportunity for people to play the lottery” outside of traditional “cash and carry retail environments.” What inspires Liz is “the money from state lotteries goes to all the great causes” funded within each individual state.  In addition to doing good, “the fun part is transformation” ---- the opportunity to marry technology passion with belief in what technology can do for humanity. While NeoPollard has dominant market share, they are only currently in four of 50 U.S. states. “I am excited about being on the front end of the industry.” Over her career, Liz has developed leadership philosophies.  One is “be authentic. You can’t be anything better than yourself.”   Also “my responsibility as a leader is figuring out how I make others great.” In defining personal strengths, Liz says that “defining a business opportunity and its challenges, and then understanding how to address those challenges with the right people, partnerships and solutions” is one of her personal attributes.  She strives to “be present” at all times. Throughout her career, Liz feels fortunate that “networking with other women exposed me to interesting people, interesting thoughts; and I like to ‘lean in’ to help people get support.”   For Liz, “it is not about work/life balance, it is about work/life blend.”  The mother of twin daughters, Liz wants her daughters to be open-minded and “able to think through an opportunity, weigh the risk and reward of things, and realize the importance of just getting out there, and making an impact.”  One of Liz’s favorite axioms is “attitude is altitude.”  According to her, “how you show up every day, in your personal life, or your professional life is incredibly important to the people you touch.” For Liz, the best approach to every situation is “a super-positive attitude and open-mindedness.”  This is particularly important in driving innovation because “many people are not where you are.” She also is clear that it is “important to say: I don’t know everything.” She fears the day that she would ever become risk averse. “I would say to my ‘younger self’, take more risks!  Open doors can present closed doors which then present other open doors. You need to have some grit.” Knowing all this, Liz places emphasis on “the ability to recruit other people” to “the cause” who have appropriate skills, appetite for innovation, drive and agility. Liz also places strong value on empathy, in colleagues and her children, and spends time supporting the development of that in both. “We’re too harsh, today, in passing judgement.  At the end of the day, we’re all just people, and should be supporting each other.” Liz was raised in a tradition of “giving back.” She is Vice President of her teenage girls’ high school sports organization; sits on different committees in her church parish; and is co-chairing South Oakland Shelter’s efforts to house the homeless, through her church.  “Your words and your actions mean everything,” said Liz. “Always give back.” Make sure to check us out on online at www.divatechtalk.com, on Twitter @divatechtalks, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/divatechtalk.

You want more podcasts? We got more podcasts (because that's literally our job, to give you podcast recommendations!) Liz brings a reader submission to the table (that she was already planning on doing thank you very much) called Forgotten Australia. Patrick decides during the show what he's going to recommend and comes up with RadioLab Presents More Perfect. And as for Zane, he's also waded into the barrel of reader submissions and brings us The What If Podcast.Liz Recommends - Forgotten Australiahttps://www.facebook.com/forgottenoz/Forgotten Australia is a documentary podcast exploring incredible, often grim, stories from Australian history. Michael Adams, a Sydney-based journalist, author and television producer.Michael got the idea for the podcast while writing the biography Australia’s Sweetheart, about a forgotten movie star who went from Sydney to Hollywood and London in the 1930s. During his research he kept finding this amazing stories that no one had ever heard of, like an Aussie who had an unlikely role on the Titanic, the disappearance of a Brisbane socialite, unknown serial killers. He figured podcasts were the best way to be able to tell these stories and taught himself how to record, edit and publish podcasts. For both: Episodes 6 (parts 1 and 2), episode 5, or any other one that takes your fancy really.https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/forgotten-australia/id1442763878?mt=2Pat Recommends - Radiolab presents More PerfectIt's Radiolab so of course it's good. This one delves more specifically into the Supreme Court, the precedents they set, and how. It's absolutely, terribly fascinating. If you don't think this will be your cup of tea you are wrong.

We made it to our tenth episode (relatively) unscathed! This week as always we review last week's submissions, before bringing you delicious piping hot new podcasts for your approval. Because of St Patrick's Day we're all about drinking this week, with Liz recommending And That's Why We Drink, Pat offering up The Drunken Taoist Podcast and Zane rounding it off with Dumb People Town.Liz Recommends - And That's Why We Drinkhttps://www.andthatswhywedrink.com/Liz finds a way to relate drinking back to a murder (and supernatural) podcast, because OF COURSE SHE DOES. And That's Why We Drink is a paranormal and true crime podcast hosted by Christine Schiefer, Em Schulz, boxed wine (aka goon) and milkshakes.

This bi-monthly podcast varies in format. Sometimes it's just host and all around cool guy Daniele Bolelli ranting and raving. Other times his co host Rich Evirs will help roll things along. They'll also throw in a guest every other episode. They touch all areas but tend to steer a lot towards politics, philosophy, sex, history and all that good jazz.For Zane & Liz: Whatever you like. But I like episodes 129, 132, 137, 145https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/the-drunken-taoist-podcast/id567232410?mt=2nkZane Recommends - Dumb People Townhttps://starburns.audio/podcasts/dumb-people-town/Now, while not explicitly about drinking, the news stories featured on Dumb People Town almost always include people who have consumed too much! It’s as much an exploration as it is a celebration of dumb people doing dumb things (often in Florida). With comedians Daniel Van Kirk, Randy Sklar, and Jason Sklar (who are twins). They have a very active social media presence and most of their stories are sourced from their fan base.For Liz & Pat: Jump in randomly!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dumb-people-town/id1187357113?mt=2&at=1001lpDqSubscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Episode nine and it's podcast time. First up, as always, your friendly neighbourhood Castologists tell us exactly what they thought of Ain't it Rich, Serial and RadioLab. Then, have they got more recommendations for you! (Of course they have, it's literally their job). Liz is all about romantic espionage with I Secretly Recorded My Boyfriend, Patrick brings comedy and the biggest issues of our time together with #WeThePeople LIVE, and Zane brings Paul F. Thompkins to the table once more with Spontaneonation (making Liz very happy in the process).Liz Recommends: I Secretly Recorded My Boyfriendhttps://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/i-secretly-recorded-my-boyfriend/Jo was so astounded with some of the things her boyfriend said that she started secretly recording him (seriously, he doesn't have a clue). She brings her friends Katy and Sparky on board to judge the status of her relationship by the very amusing recordings. Get ready for heavy Birmingham accents, lots of swearing and a fascinating look into the differences between men and women.For both: Start at the start and listen to as many that grab you. This one's easy to duck in and out of.Pat Recommends - #WeThePeople LIVEHey guess what I've recommended. A news, science and politics podcast. Something like that anyway. Crazy right? Hosted by Australian media personality Josh Zepps, this one started out as a somewhat drunken panel show that would take place in a bar in New York. Now that Josh is a responsible adult with twins he's moved back to Sydney and the show has taken on a one on one interview format... onaoneonone. Anyway, the show is great regardless of format and he manages to wrangle plenty of fine guests.For Zane: Episode - 134. Dr Karl - LIVEFor Liz: Episodes - 139.

Let's talk about sex, baby! In honour of Valentine's Day, the team at Castology wanna recommend getting down and dirty. How romantic! But before then we gotta talk about last week, namely: How Did This Get Made?, The Rubin Report and Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates. Then it's getting hot in here, with Liz gushing about Sex Nerd Sandra, Zane slipping in a bit of Savage Lovecast, and Patrick getting stimulating with Tangentially Speaking. Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice. Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.Liz recommends: Sex Nerd Sandra https://www.patreon.com/sexnerdsandraHost Sandra Daugherty is a podcasting, workshop-teaching, sexual-shame-fighting “sex nerd” and her own words describe her podcast better than Liz ever could. “Many folks at first think "Sex Nerd" is just some provocative catch phrase I use to get attention. Ew no,” Sandra says on her Patreon. “In 2009, it was the only way I could efficiently communicate what I am and how I relate to the world. I was teaching a lot of BJ & orgasm classes back then and that quickly evolved into the Sex Nerd Sandra podcast (formerly on Nerdist). While I love to overshare about neato sex info, I’ve never felt like a sexpert, and always felt like a sex nerd. I hope we continue to learn together. I'm making lighthearted, curiosity-driven sex ed episodes interviewing scientists, practitioners and perverts about their passions." In earlier episodes she co-hosted with Dave Ross. She's now left the Pod Network life and you can donate to her Patreon so she can keep doing her sexy, nerdy thing.Liz's recommendation for Zane: Ep #35 Kiss and Make Out (Live ep).Liz's recommendation for Pat: Ep #66 Red Hot Touch(But Liz also thought it was hard to choose which ep to recommend which gent, so she suggested listening to both if they can).https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/sex-nerd-sandra/id455065811Pat Recommends: Tangentially Speaking with Dr. Christopher Ryan https://chrisryanphd.com/tangentially-speaking/This might be the favourite of my podcast subscriptions, it's certainly the one I recommend most. Chris Ryan first burst onto the scene in 2010 when he and his wife Cacilda Jethá co-wrote Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality. I first heard Chris when he appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience (naturally), where he was encouraged to start his own podcast. I've been listening to Tangentially Speaking from he beginning and am never disappointed. Chris gets all sorts of interesting people on, comedians, actors, musicians, scientists, writers, friends of his, and eccentrics he meets on his travels. I've too many favourite episodes so here's just a few: #188 Tom Spanbauer,#165 Lodhy, #204 Wim Hof, #214 Wade Davis, #254 Debra Berger, #279 Cacilda Jetha, #341 Aron RalstonFor Liz: To keep it thematic I'm going to recommend #322 Angela WhiteFor Zane: #346 Wednesday Martin for Zanehttps://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/tangentially-speaking-with-christopher-ryan/id566908883Zane recommends: The Savage Lovecast https://www.savagelovecast.com/I have been listening to Dan Savage for years and I know he has many strong opinions about Valnetine's Day. Dan Savage is an author, a sex-advice columnist, a podcaster, a pundit, and a public speaker. "Savage Love," Dan's sex-advice column, first appeared in the The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly, in 1991. The column is now syndicated to more than 50 papers across the United States and Canada. Dan has published six books. Dan’s graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religiosity, and politics.For Liz and Pat: Any episode really, all very similar.https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/savage-lovecast/id201376301Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

It's all happening in episode five, if by all you mean podcasts are getting reviewed. Self-proclaimed Castologists Liz, Zane and Patrick kick off by reviewing last week's first THEMED comedy podcast selections (The Jimmy Dore Show, A Very Fatal Murder and The Film Reroll). Then we scooch on over to this week's also-themed offerings. The theme? Panel discussions! Liz suggests How Did This Get Made, Patrick brings select episodes of the Rubin Report to the table and Zane gets us all thinky with Intelligence Squared Debates. Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM. Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice. (And give us a review, you know you want to).Liz recommends: How Did This Get Made? https://www.hdtgminfo.com/Have you ever seen a movie and thought: "How in the ever-loving fuck did this movie get made?" and yet somehow felt your excitement levels rising at how good/bad this dumpster fire of a film was? Then How Did This Get Made? is gonna be your jam. The panel is most often comprised of actors/comedians Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas but they frequently get their hilarious buddies along to add fuel to their garbage fire of a movie discussions. They watch the flick off-mic, then in the podcast they do a full movie recap and comb through just how shit/excellent the movie really is.For Pat and Zane: Pretty much any episode that features movies that grab or intrigue you. Personal faves include Con Air, Look Who's Talking Too and Skyscraper.http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/how-did-this-get-made/id409287913Pat Recommends - The Rubin Report (Since it sometimes has panel discussions) https://daverubin.com/The second disaffected liberal in a row. Dave Rubin and this show used to be part of The Young Turks but felt the network was getting a little too crazy for him. So now he hosts his own political news talk show. Dave's format usually involves a monologue at the beginning and then a one on one interview. Dave himself identifies mostly as a classical liberal with libertarian leanings. The Rubin Report can also be viewed rather than simply listened to on YouTube.For Liz and Zane: a panel show episode so as to align with this theme.A Bishop and a Rabbi Discuss Religion, the Enlightenment, and Finding Meaning.Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro: Religion, Trans Activism, and Censorship.LIVE from OCON: Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin, Yaron Brook, Greg Salmierihttps://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/the-rubin-report/id1052842770Zane Recommends - Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates https://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/podcastsI love listening to passionate people talk about what they are passionate about. Bonus points if the are erudite and succinct and extra bonus points if it is balanced with those who politely disagree!

It's episode two time! Do we know what we're doing entirely yet? Probably not! Will you enjoy it? Hopefully! This week Liz, Patrick and Zane tell you what they thought of last weeks recommendations including: The Thrilling Adventure Hour, My Favourite Murder and The Joe Rogan Show. This week's recommendations are: well-known Aussie true crime podcast Casefile, not-so-well-known Aussie podcast Unnatural Selection and comedy podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour. Liz Recommends - Casefile https://casefilepodcast.com/Casefile is a weekly (sometimes fortnightly) meticulously researched true crime podcast hosted by an extremely ocker Australian man who, to this day remains anonymous.

Liz is the founder and CEO of Sseko Designs, an ethical fashion brand that works to educate and empower women around the world. She joins Charlie on the show today to talk about how and why her brand started with employing high-potential women from Uganda, and what it does today for every woman in the Sseko network. Key Takeaways: [2:30] - Liz went to journalism school, and while there, she became interested in issues facing women and girls who were living in areas of extreme poverty and post-conflict zones. She moved to Uganda, and discovered a unique issue facing women there. During a transition period in their schooling, they had to return to their villages where they were competing for jobs with men in the village, and they also lost a lot of social support to continue on to University. In response to this problem, Liz started Sseko. [5:03] - She committed to three young women that if they made her sandals for the next three months, they would get to university in the fall. When she decided she was going to start a sponsorship-based non-profit charity, her research shifted her focus to something that was more about sustainability, job creation, and contributing to the export market. She tried a few other business ideas, and sandals worked. At the start of her business, Liz wasn’t really passionate about the business side, but over the course of her career, the business aspects have become something that fuels her. [8:45] - When starting her business, an important thing was recognizing the abundance of resources in both the United States and Uganda. For Liz, it was a two-way street between the material resources available in the US, and young people in need of a job in Uganda. What good businesses and marketplaces do well is come together to combine their resources to create something sustainable and mutually beneficial. [10:35] - Liz and Charlie talk about American culture, and the idea of building up the economies in these developing countries rather than exporting their labor and resources elsewhere. One of the most beneficial human interactions is one that’s mutually respectful. What Liz is trying to do with Sseko is create mutually beneficial relationships, from trade to the relationships between the people who work for the company. [12:50] - Liz talks about how the journey in Africa of empowering women to be equal partners in the marketplace compares to the journey we’ve been on in the US. The two journeys are pretty similar, and it all comes down to a power dynamic. There is a belief that the more women are empowered, engaged, and lifted up, the less power men will have. This is a false dichotomy. The challenges women are facing in East Africa are more dramatic and obvious than the challenges women in the US are facing. Liz talks about some of these real challenges that the women of Sseko face during the nine months they go back to their villages before University. [18:55] - Liz talks about their business model. Rather than a portion of the profits going to the women, they are a paid a monthly salary based on what they do and what their job is within the company. This salary would be about 2-3 times more than the proposed minimum wage in Uganda. [21:30] - At the original conception of her venture, Liz was very against it being a business (rather than a charity). She felt that most businesses contributed to a system where people were divided by who was privileged and who was oppressed. Liz didn’t want to be involved in that system, but when she got to Uganda, she realized that the tool of capitalism in the marketplace in business was amoral. It’s about how you do it, the decisions you make, and the spirit in which you do those things that can contribute to a system that creates mutually beneficial relationships. [24:50] - Though there are many businesses and business people that abuse the system, there are many more, like Liz, who use their business to create good in the world. For Liz, it was when she was in Uganda and thinking about her specific goals with her project that she realized her goals meant starting a business. Her model is capitalism for good. [27:45] - Liz’s biggest personal challenge as an entrepreneur is focus. Liz often finds herself bending the rules and going after the exception without realizing the cost on the overall mission. Her team helps keep her check and maintain focus so they are able to continue to help the most amount of people. [31:30] - The biggest challenge on the business side has been being a vertically integrated company. They currently run two different models - a manufacturing company and a sales/ distribution marketing company. These companies require different finance models, ways of running, and types of employees. So far, it’s a worthy challenge they are continuing to pursue. Charlie and Liz talk about what would have to happen for Sseko to reconsider this model. [35:50] - What does the future of retail look like? This is something that Liz has become interested in over the past few years. At Sseko, they shifted their model to be a direct sales model (women become spokespeople for their brands in their own communities and sell the product in their communities), as retail has moved away from brick and mortar to something more personal and social. E-commerce is taking over, but that takes away some of the experiential side of retail. Their direct sales model creates an engaging and community-oriented way of shopping. It’s almost like the future of retail is going back to the past. [41:52] - The direct sales model for Sseko specifically means that a purchase will help a woman in Uganda go to college, but also helps support the family of the woman in your community you bought a pair of sandals or a purse from. When we realize we’re all creators and makers and we all can contribute, then we start to break down the idea that we can’t buy or sell stuff to our friends. [43:10] - Liz’s invitation to listeners is to join Sseko; if you’re interested in being an entrepreneur, you can be a part of their community of dreamers, doers, and impact entrepreneurs. If you already have a product, think about how you can make an impact on your local community and in the global community.

Liz has a story that many young women can relate to. While many use birth control shots with very few side effects, injecting hormones can come with a host of negative consequences. For young women looking to prevent unplanned pregnancies, it is important to be informed of all the side effects, not to be afraid to ask questions and to observe how your body reacts to these shots. For Liz however, birth control caused her to gain weight reaching 268 lbs at 17 years old. It is undeniable that issues about body image, identity and confidence tend to be at its peak during the impressionable age of adolescence and this took a toll on her mental and emotional state. This brave young lady shares how she found comfort in posting on social media - gaining gratification from all the attention and likes. But what people didn’t know was that under the surface, she was struggling. “I didn’t know who she was anymore, I was so lost.” At 18 years old, Liz provides helpful information on weight loss and the journey towards making a change in your lifestyle. Diets and fitness programs can be overwhelming, Liz chose to take it step by step and decided to make small changes part of her lifestyle. Her success story is one that will resonate with many teenagers who are struggling with their weight and the mental, emotional and physical challenges that come with it. In the U.S., 7.5 million boys and 6.1 million girls between the ages of 5 to 19 were obese in 2016 according to research from the World Health Organization and Imperial College London.

For Liz’s Birthday episode, she introduces Josh to the comedy classic 9 to 5 (1980) starring Jane Fonda, Lilly Tomlin, Dabney Coleman, and Liz’s hero Dolly Parton. They discuss a film that, in its own way, was ahead of its time and how (unfortunately) timely its themes are today.

Jess is joined by the lovely Liz Wilkins today on Smart Leaders Sell!! Liz is someone who Jess has actually hugged in real life, and has been known to save Jess from Holiday madness at least once in her lifetime. Liz talks about how without sales, you're not actually in business: you just have an expensive hobby. She is all about running a real business, and not just “Fannying around on FB” (I was threatened that bad things would happen to me if I didn't include that in the show notes). Jess asks for input from Liz on what's important for a brand when they're just starting out, and Liz is more than happy to share her experiences on the topic. She brings up successful brands today, and how they started in a much less refined place. She uses their evolution as an example that you can apply to your own brand when starting out. Jess brings up a story of a car advert that tried two different approaches to sell the same car. One went for the obvious, and the other went for a more emotionally centered attempt. The results were pretty entertaining to witness, but this experiment was also dripping with lessons about branding and getting things done in a way that makes your audience want to buy. The two discuss physical products, and the best time to start creating them for your business, as well as when and how to implement simple effective marketing to grow your brand in a way the suits your style and your business. They also go into detail about the new planner Jessica has launched, and Quotes “Good design and good marketing is about building that emotional connection” “Without sales I don't have a business, I have a very expensive hobby” “You don't need a perfect, beautiful brand to start with” “Ultimately, confused minds don't buy” “It does not have to be complicated” “Focus on increasing your cash flow first”   For Liz http://marketingninjaconsultancy.com/smartleaderssell/ Get the Planner! https://smartleaderssell.com/product/product-3/ More Jess: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FabulousFemaleEntrepreneurs/ https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the actress Liz Smith. Her story is a triumph of talent and perseverance over circumstance. Her mother died when she was tiny, her father walked out of her life and for many years she was brought up by her grandmother who was in mourning for her only child and her own husband. For Liz, acting and making people laugh was an escape from the often harsh realities of life, but she had to wait until she was 50 for her first real break - a role in Mike Leigh's film Bleak Moments. By that time, she'd raised her two children on her own with very little money and knew that this was her opportunity to prove what she could do. She won critical acclaim and was later awarded a Bafta for her appearance in Alan Bennett's A Private Function and finally, when she was in her 70s, she became a household name through her roles in The Vicar of Dibley and The Royle Family. She's now 86 years old and, although she concedes the characters she plays have a habit of dying on screen, she isn't planning to retire any time soon.
