Teach. Motivate. Inspire. These are the themes that run through my conversations with people who are living their best lives. Guests on “Live Your Best Life with Liz Brunner” are best-selling authors, international executives, public personalities, thought-leaders, health and fitness experts, award-winning chefs and role models who are recreating their lives in interesting, unique ways. They have taken all of their life experiences, the good and the bad, the successes and even the failures, and used that knowledge to not only create their "next chapters," but to inspire others as well. My grandmother was fond of saying, "no knowledge is ever wasted." It's so true. I have personally used all of my “knowledge” to "recreate" myself several times from High School music teacher, to working in retail, to a 28-year award-winning TV career, and now to entrepreneur. I call it "recreation" because to me it's about "connecting the dots" of all of our life experiences and skills, and using them to create our next chapter and to live our best, most authentic life. My guests are recreating their lives in interesting, unique ways. As an executive communications coach and motivational speaker, I not only work with Fortune 500 and C-suite executives on their communication/presentation skills, but I also help them learn the tools they need to become their best authentic selves and live their best lives.

    “...I was always being told what I was going to do. I wanted to figure out something different for myself. I wanted a creative outlet…it started in the real estate business…they were looking for space for a movie… this is so interesting, and he said to me, ‘Well, you know, you could actually be in the movie…’ My scene was not in the movie, but it was the coolest thing I'd ever done in my life. And I was like, I need to do more of this…”

    Michael Schlow

    Michael Schlow

    Professional baseball player, stand-up comic...equine veterinarian. These are just a few of the "misguided career chapters" Michael Schlow says he considered before finding his true passion and destiny. Today, he's a world-renowned, multiple award-winning chef and restaurateur, who says he's a forever student...but also a teacher.



    “...We all make mistakes. Are you at least trying to do the right thing with every step? And if you're trying your best, nobody can fault you if you make a mistake. But it's acknowledging that mistake and then not repeating it,…you can't learn if you don't fail. And it's okay. You’ve just got to keep going and pick yourself up.…”

    Jamie Hess

    Jamie Hess

    In her early 20s, Jamie Hess was a PR hotshot climbing the ladder of success and living the glamorous high life in New York City. To the outside world, it looked like she had it all together. But on the inside, fearing she could never live up to her perfect trailblazing television mom, Joan Lunden, she held a secret. She was a high functioning cocaine addict, barely able to keep her head above water.



    “...I do believe in making your mess, your message. And that's really why I've taken this on as my journey...And so all of that said, when I did get sober… just like anything, you’ve got to keep practicing until you get good at it…”



    Jamie has transformed her life and she is helping others do the same at meetjamiehess.com

    Anthony Bourke

    Anthony Bourke

    Anthony Bourke is a winemaker, an F-16 fighter pilot and a successful business entrepreneur. And that's just the shortlist of his accomplishments. Today he's taking all of those experiences and helping others discover how not only to live their best life, but to do it at peak performance.



    “...It's amazing how many dots connect in this...at least in my experience, when businesses repeat mistakes, when they become complacent, when they stop focusing on growing their people, they may not lose their lives, but you can certainly lose your way of life. We know businesses go away, we know people lose their jobs, sell their homes, move someplace else. I would certainly say that the stakes of not executing at the highest level in business and not achieving peak performance at not staying number one in your space can be nearly as significant as they are for a fighter pilot…”

    Wendy Tamis Robbins

    Wendy Tamis Robbins

    For almost 40 years, Wendy Tamis Robbins' life on the outside appeared to be perfect. An all-star athlete, Ivy League graduate, successful attorney, but on the inside, she was unraveling every single day, suffering with nearly debilitating anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive behaviors, bouts of depression, eating disorders, and even thoughts of suicide. Today, she has transformed her anxiety into her superpower, and she is helping others do the same.



    “...I really don't have a lot of anxiety anymore. I mean, I see my anxiety now as a fierce and loyal protector, and it has been for humans for thousands and thousands of years. That's why we're here. It's a very important protective mechanism that we have. For the little bit that I have now, I just get quiet and listen to it. ...”



    Wendy's book is titled “The Box: An Invitation to Freedom from Anxiety” and you can learn more about her book, her wonderful coaching practice and her podcast at WendyTamisRobbins.com

    Matt Emerzian

    Matt Emerzian

    Being human is tricky because we all want to feel loved, to feel like we matter. And yet we're looking in all the wrong places. Matt Emerzian speaks from his own personal experience. He had a dream job in the music industry, working with some of the biggest stars like U-2, Usher, and Avril Lavigne. But it all came crashing down after a complete mental breakdown and in that brokenness, he discovered that none of that mattered. Today, he's helping millions of people discover how much they matter.



    “...Everything just seemed to work. Until I realized that there was a whole lot more to life that I had never experienced. It caught me off guard, it rocked my world...”



    Matt has created a modern methodology to help organizations build engaged cultures, drive purposeful impact, and succeed at every level and he’s sharing it at matthewemerzian.com
