She is a rockstar!Everyone needs a Liz in their mastermind.Liz comes at all of our discussions from a different point of view and her insights have become invaluable to each member of our mastermind.I call Liz a reluctant entrepreneur because she comes from academia and yet her ideas for the future of history and how to share it with the world are cutting edge and very entrepreneurial. She works hard to balance staying true to her community and her field and doesn’t want to be seen as selling out.And yet at the same time she needs to fund the work she is doing, so it puts her at a difficult crossroads a lot of the time.What I love about Liz is her commitment to her field and her desire to share her passion with the world and her understanding of how technology can be used to help us understand and remember the past.Get ready to meet one of the smartest people I know.
