956: The Loneliness Epidemic with Community Builder Liz Forkin Bohannon

Statistics show that 97% of small business owners would say that they have felt really alone and unsupported in their journey. Though we have the opportunity to be more connected than ever, we are also lonelier than ever. If you’ve built a business, you’ve probably felt that paradox deeply. Today’s guest, Liz Forkin Bohannon, knows that connection isn’t just a feel-good value – it’s a radical, transformative growth strategy. Liz is passionate about women and girls living in extreme poverty. She spent time connecting with underprivileged women in Uganda and realized how important community is. She’s built her business, community, and life around the idea that we’re better together, and in this episode, we talk about what it looks like to build something that not only grows but brings people closer.  ⁠⁠Join The Co-op – The Membership for Online Businesses⁠⁠ Connect with Abagail⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠All the Links!⁠⁠ Episode Highlights How to Create Genuine Connection in Business.
