Why You Can't Thrive Alone — in Life & Work — With Liz McVicker

In this Inspirational People interview on the Share Life podcast, I'm speaking with Liz McVicker. Liz is a life and leadership coach through her company, The Cadence Collective. Years ago, my wife and I attended Victory World Church for 4-5 years, which is also where we met Liz. Liz and I recently reconnected at Natalie Born's recent book launch party.

In this conversation, Liz shares her story, her background in corporate work and ministry, her leap of faith into entrepreneurship, and the different dynamics she explores with her coaching clients.
