Ep. 109 / Equity is Delicious with Elizabeth Frame Ellison
Elizabeth Frame Ellison had endless professional opportunities upon graduating from law school, but she chose the less obvious one. Instead of the “typical” corporate or big firm career path, she chose to serve those who needed it the most. From her experiences in our broken justice system to her travels abroad to her love for her Tulsa community, Elizabeth is changing lives one dish at a time.
Join us as we discuss:
Everyone deserves a fighting chance
Different is great and delicious
Equity is inherently valuable and builds good business
Faking it til you make it… sort of
The world is your oyster
Get ready to pack your bags and head to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
