One of my favorite things to do is kick off the year with positive, inspiring individuals like Liz Lefkofsky, a philanthropist and founder of the VING project, a giving movement that empowers 14-18 year old teens to help others. 

In this episode, Liz takes us behind the scenes into how she established a collaborative partnership with the one and only Meghan Markle, and why they’re on a mission to give 1,000 “VINGs” to uplift amazing women in need.
