Liv has a penchant for taking complex jargon and explaining them to people in the simplest, most digestible way – a knack that only few have mastered.

Ambassador of Longview Philanthropy, Liv also hosts the Win-Win podcast, which is an exploration of competitions and how they can help and harm human beings. Through this podcast, Liv has had the opportunity to interview well-known personalities like Simon Sinek and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to name a few.
