Summary

In today's episode, I sit down with Emmy Award-winning journalist Liz Claman to explore the defining moments of her career. From early rejections that could have derailed her path to becoming one of the most trusted names in business journalism, Liz shares how she turned challenges into stepping stones. As the anchor of The Claman Countdown on Fox Business, she reflects on the persistence, adaptability, and confidence that helped her thrive in a competitive industry. We discuss her approach to navigating high-pressure environments, lessons learned from setbacks, and the mindset that kept her focused on long-term success. Liz’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.
