Alison Levine is an author, explorer, mountain climber and a  kick ass person. Accomplishing unbelievable feats in the elements and in business is even more bonkers given the fact she has had three heart surgeries and suffers from Raynaud’s disease. From a career that includes work at pharmaceutical companies, Goldman Sachs and then as deputy finance director for Arnold Schwarzenegger in his successful bid to become Governor of California; Alison knows adversity and success.  Her work  at the Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point and stories about starting out and getting noticed created great storytelling for our show. Additionally we cover the recent troubles the retail shopping world is facing and What's Got Our Attention This Week as well.
