Plucking Up with Liz Bohannon Liz Bohannon

Hello Pluckies! I'm sure you're used to stories of people struggling and facing failures to eventually succeed. I mean we certainly have a bunch of them on Plucking Up as well - failing or 'plucking up' is important for our growth.

But my guest today, Conor Lewis, tells us why it's important even though you may not find the success you hoped.

Conor was the founder of one of the biggest kickstarters ever with a children's toy company. But through the hurdles and deep setbacks he faced, Conor remained relentless and hopeful.

Conor tells us what he learned through that journey - this one is a tear-jerker and truly inspirational one! Fun fact - Conor is also the husband of one of my dear friends.



Listen and learn with me!

Hey Pluckies! Season 8 has begun! We kick off this new season with my wonderful guest and friend, Ruth Simons.



Ruth is a such a powerful reminder to all of us freedom we experience when we share our stories with each other. She speaks to me openly about embracing motherhood while also continuing to chase her dreams. And most importantly, she shares how to be relentless while remaining optimistic in her faith.



Ruth's latest book, 'Now and Not Yet,' is available now! Check out the book here.

Hey Pluckies! We're back! There's so much to catch you all of up on.



We have a new season with more inspiring stories, amazing guests and of course pluck-ups we can learn from. The season launches next Tuesday, May 28th!



In this season, we will chat with authors, celebrities, thought leaders and entrepreneurs from all walks of life. This season we are doing something special. I will also open up the conversations to all of you - you will have the opportunity to join us live in these interviews as audience members!



Follow me at lizboho.com or on Instagram to show your interest in joining us in these conversations. I am so excited for this next season. See you all next Tuesday!

As we continue our replay journey, I wanted to take us to a really important season 2 episode.



I chatted with Megan Tamte, CEO of Evereve, a contemporary women’s fashion brand with retail stores across the country. 

She talks about the importance holding on to your dreams until they are fulfilled and never giving up.

She also talks about how we can find meaning in average moments.

Let's relisten together!

Hey Pluckies! I'm back with one of my favorite episodes from the past.

Let's revisit the time I sat down with the superstar, Matthew McConaughey! Yes, I still can't believe it!

In this amazing conversation, the Academy Award-winner talks about parenting, from how he was raised to how he’s raising his own children and his learning journey as an actor, how we went from complacency and shame to getting roles of a lifetime.

There’s a lot of uniquely introspective wisdom about failure, guilt, and embarrassment that we talk about, as well as visceral experiences Matthew shared in our conversation!

Let's relisten together!.

Check out this episode very close to my heart, as we go down memory lane!

Janice Bryant Howroyd is the founder and CEO of The ActOne Group, an award-winning company in the human resources industry. The ActOne Group is a multi-billion dollar business she started with just about $1500 in savings. But Janice is more than an incredible businesswoman with tons of accolades and accomplishments under her belt. Janice has lived a phenomenal life that, while filled with challenges, can inspire anyone in pursuit of changing the course of their own history. In this episode, she talks to me about living in a Bible-based community in the Deep South and the supportive environment Janice’s parents created for her, as well as 10 other siblings. We also dive deep into her experience of being the ONLY student of color to integrate at an white school in 11th grade — and why she calls it the worst year of her life.
