Details

You built the business. Now what? Welcome to Your Big Next—the podcast for entrepreneurs who’ve conquered success but know there’s more. Here’s the truth: success alone isn’t enough, especially when it’s costing you your family, purpose, or quality of life. I’m Liz, founder of Luminary Leadership Co., homeschooling mom of four (yes, chaos is my love language), and the trusted sounding board for visionaries like John Maxwell. Over the past dozen years, I’ve coached hundreds of high-level leaders through the exact moment you might be facing now: when you realize scaling harder, hiring faster, and hustling more aren’t the answers. Here’s the thing: the world says do more. But what if the key isn’t doing at all? What if your next breakthrough requires slowing down, tuning in, and stepping into the calling that’s been quietly waiting for you to notice? This podcast isn’t about tweaking your to-do list or finding hacks to make life “easier.” It’s about flipping the script on success and stepping boldly into the work that actually matters—the kind that lights you up, fuels your family, and leaves a legacy worth talking about. Every week, we’ll hit you with paradigm-shifting ideas, game-changing strategies, and the kind of leadership insights that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about success. If you’re ready to trade burnout for brilliance, hustle for heart, and empty achievement for a legacy that actually means something, then welcome home. Your Big Next is waiting—let’s find it together.
