In this no-holds-barred conversation, PR powerhouse Liana Zavo reveals how she transformed from a teenage mother with crushed dreams into a global PR force operating in 12 countries. Stoy Hall digs into the raw truth of her journey - the Russian immigrant who faced constant rejection, battled autoimmune disease from overworking, and ultimately built an empire on her own terms.
This isn't just another success story. It's a masterclass in using PR as your ultimate weapon - the "underdog" marketing tool Liana claims is more powerful than traditional advertising. She exposes the myths around publicity, shares her "BE EPIC" method that's transformed 3,500+ female executives, and explains why your story matters more than your credentials.
