It's all about the climb: Liz Claman on her newly launched podcast

Whether it's "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus or famed singer Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band singing the iconic “You know you’ve got to go through hell before you get to heaven” line from the 1977 hit song “Jet Airliner,” the idea of scratching and fighting your way to the top is one of the essential stories not revealed often enough when it comes to succeeding in reaching for your dreams.

These lyrics crystallize the theme of FOX Business anchor Liz Claman’s newly launched podcast, “Everyone Talks to Liz.” Liz helms “The Claman Countdown,” one of the top three shows across all U.S. business networks and, as the highest-rated female business news anchor in America, decided to focus her podcast on the climb vs. the top when it comes to reaching the peak of success.

Each episode of “Everyone Talks to Liz” follows stories of individuals who reached unbelievable pinnacles of success but only after facing incredible odds to get there. Listeners will be inspired by their stories of how they battled failure, drama, trauma, even near-death to reach their dreams of wild success.
