Liz: Lift as you climb.

In this episode, Kristin sits down with Liz (she, her), Global Co-Head of Brand Consulting at CAA, to talk about building a career that doesn’t follow a straight line and why that might be the point. From studying sociology and planning to become a social worker, to working a string of unexpected jobs, to eventually leading a global team connecting brands to culture, Liz’s path is a reminder that the most meaningful careers are shaped in ways we couldn’t have predicted.

They talk about the importance of understanding people: what they care about, what they value, and how that shapes everything from consumer behavior to leadership. Liz reflects on how growing up with four sisters shaped her perspective and her commitment to “lifting as you climb,” along with honest insights on leading large teams, making decisions about where to show up, and letting go of the idea of perfect balance.

At its core, this conversation is about adjusting your sails, trusting that things will come together over time, and remembering that not one chapter, good or bad, defines you. Because in the end, resilience matters more than any title and everything you experience along the way counts.
