Plucking Up with Liz Bohannon

363

Do you ever look at successful people and get stuck in their highlight reel? We then look at our own mess ups and feel alone, broken and not cut out for the job. Hosted by founder and social entrepreneur Liz Bohannon, Plucking Up is a podcast that talks about failures beyond the platitudes and how celebrated authors, entrepreneurs, artists and leaders in their own field moved past mistakes and wrong turns, in order to build lives of purpose, passion and impact. Each week, Liz shares uninhibited conversations with guests including Elizabeth Gilbert, Arianna Huffington, and many more.

    Great Podcast!
    I’m not one to always write a review unless I feel compelled, and this podcast is a new found favorite. It’s so relatable and refreshing; which you don’t always find. I LOVE how Liz keeps her guests in what I call the “messy middle” as they tell their stories; it’s the absolute best part and it’s the part that most quickly pass through. Liz’s desire to stay in that “part” of the story longer, makes for a profound podcast - one that has meaning and feels authentically fulfilling, embarking so much wisdom and purpose. As an entrepreneur myself, this is gold! Thank you!

    Great listen!!

    Real encouragement
    Sometimes, leadership podcasts can come off as aspirational but unrealistic. Liz knows her stuff and is a successful businesswoman and leader, but she has mastered the art of still being a real person you feel like you could actually be friends with. Her genuine enthusiasm and curiosity comes across in every episode, and I always come away feeling hopeful and also entertained (did I mention she’s so funny?!) The guests are fantastic and she has a way of helping us relate to the real humans behind the famous names. Listen in and be encouraged!

    A model of a driven force
    Liz is an amazing young woman who is full of vision, passion and drive. I am so enthralled with how she has made change in this world to bring sustainable fashion a thing. Take a chance and listen up! I’m a Sseko Fellow sharing sustainable fashion and thankful for her energy.

    Relatable words to live by
    Liz’s show is quippy while eloquent. She imparts wisdom and words to live by, while she guides guests to share their most vulnerable moments. My favorite listen on my morning commute!

    To pluck up or not to pluck up…
    Grateful for the voice of reason that Liz is, as she releases each of us into our actual humanity, where plucking up is a sign of growth and not failure. The voices she shares her mic with are true advocates for the concept that pluck ups do not determine your success, but do in fact, determine your ability to succeed because of and in spite of. And that’s the real concern for someone who’s determined to succeed. Because if this podcast, I believe I can place lost hope back into the earning of my own goals and grow instead of falter when I inevitably pluck up again.

    Liz Bohannon is my favorite human
    From the first time I heard Liz, I knew her energy was something I desperately needed in my life. She is so open and authentic and feels like the mom friend I could sit down and have coffee with. Hearing about her work building Sseko Designs from the ground up and the amazing young women who have a university education because of the Sseko Scholars program is so inspiring.

    5 stars Review
    I just finished Episode 70 and found Danielle LaPorte to be a very relatable guest speaker. I have experienced similar feelings of fear of success or comparison and am learning how to find my own purpose and path. Liz is a great interviewer and I love her podcasts.
