    The Life Maximizer with Shari Greco Reiches

    On today's show, Liz talks with Shari Greco Reiches – The Life Maximizer. Shari's adoptive father gave her a great piece of advice early in her life: "You can have anything you want, but you can't have everything you want."  Shari has taken that advice and used it as the foundation for how she advises her clients as the founder of Rappaport Reiches Capital Management. Her firm's motto: "How can we help you maximize your return on life?", builds on that early advice by helping clients figure out their core values and then balancing their wants against those values and their financial portfolio.  While Shari is still actively involved in running her firm, she is creating her own third act within the firm, distilling all the valuable lessons she's learned and giving them back through a blog, book, and podcast.

    At the end of his first act, Jerry Palmer found himself out of shape, divorced, and without friends.

David is the founder and face of Ageist, a new media company and agency that champions the vitality and influence of the modern 50-plus. David's second act was as a professional photographer, but he eventually realized that there was something just not right in photographing 20- and 30-year-olds for products targeting people over 50. So he and a friend launched media agency Ageist to represent the mindset and aspirations that drive this influential demographic. Today, he is a passionate champion and leading authority for those in the modern 50-plus age group.

    The Model of Grit and Grace with Cheryle Jackson

    Today's guest, Cheryle Jackson, describes her life as a series of 'firsts' — as the only woman and woman of color in corporate hallways and boardrooms. As the first female president and CEO of the Chicago Urban League, she led the 100+-year-old organization through transformational change.  As the first woman and African American to serve in the role of communications director for the Governor of Illinois, she survived the tumultuous administration of Rod Blagojevich, and was asked by Barack Obama to run for his Senate seat. She's gone onto several C-suite and Board positions, but the double whammy of divorce and breast cancer in 2012 caused her to step back and allow herself to think about herself.  In 2018, she founded Grit and Grace, The Movement, a women's empowerment organization to help advance the ambition of women through coaching, conferences, community, and content designed to inspire and empower. Join Liz for her conversation with the extraordinary Cheryle Jackson.
