Summary
I was thrilled to get to interview Liz Bohannon, founder and CEO of Sseko Designs, for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. We talked about how she went from "an idea" of what her calling was to building the company she has now.
We also talked about how she felt quitting her "looks good on paper" job to move to Uganda without a plan, what happened when she realized that she was building a business around things she *thought* she hated, and how many times she's been told no.
This episode was full of SO MANY gems (get the cliff notes and my top 5 highlights below) and might be just what you need to get your butt in gear towards making something big happen for this world.
