Welcome Liz Collins to the show! Liz and I chat about her journey from being laid off from a large retail company and how that one moment and one question of "Do you want to be here" was the catalyst to her most fulfilling journey yet as a CEO and founder of her own company! 

Liz Collins: From Lay Off to CEO

Sitting down with Paul Stonick, a seasoned creative executive and leader who turns strategy, design, and emerging tech into business results by helping teams harness AI not as a threat to creativity, but as a companion species. Together, we talked about Paul's journey through successful work but also mental decline during COVID and how he overcome what his wife described as his "soul being sucked out of him."

 Paul is a speaker, coach, and advisor who helps people and companies lead what’s next, with confidence, culture, and craft. Describes himself on LinkedIn as “Equal Parts Punk + Pinstripe”. Paul is a founding cohort member of Punks & Pinstripes -- “a private network of badass transformation executives”.
