We are doing a happy dance at the Disruptive CEO Nation podcast because this is our 200th episode, and to celebrate, we made Allison the guest.

In this episode, Bruce Corris from Market Domination takes the interviewer's seat and helps listeners get to know Allison better and what is behind the career that has enabled her to work with CEOs and senior leaders in over 90 countries. Through the conversation, we explore:

- A glimpse into Allison's childhood and how that formed her life's work.

- The unique position of being a first-generation college student and what that meant to her.

- Her early years in business when she figured out her drive to want to achieve more.

- Why she embraces the philosophy 'The start of amazing begins with a question'.

- Lessons learned being a podcast host (and why she wishes there was a podcast hall of shame for bad guests).
