Throughout her career, Elizabeth Gore (Twitter, LinkedIn) has worked closely with decision-makers in some of the most impactful institutions in the public and private sectors. No, she wasn’t born into royalty. She has deliberately cultivated meaningful relationships by creating value for everyone around her, from the most remote communities to billionaire titans. “I do believe your network is your greatest asset over the life of your career and that you have no idea when and where that network might serve you.” Today Elizabeth is President of Alice, the AI-driven business advisor for entrepreneurs. Her startup is helping those outside centers of power build their own amazing networks, by catering resources for people of marginalized gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, and more. As she sees it, traits that are often seen as disadvantages can actually be incredible strengths and untapped opportunities.   Learn more about The Journey at mission.org/thejourney.
