In this episode I interview my new friend, Andrea Sorenson, an accidental entrepreneur turned founder
and CEO of the wildly successful technology company Liiingo, who shares her story with poignant
honesty about the trials that ultimately shaped her triumphs . As a working mother, Andrea addresses
the beauty in the unexpected of a small family—the gift of being able to intentionally pour into her son
as well as her career to leave a legacy of impact. Andrea’s seemingly eclectic work experience led her to
solve the problem at the core of business and customer engagement; what even she saw as a sporadic
series of careers led her to create a technology that seamlessly blends all of her knowledge into the
perfect niche to ease business and customer interfaces and establish authentic community . If you have
ever found yourself in a place of envying someone’s ‘overnight’ success, listen to Andrea’s candid
conversation about the many times she had to choose the harder route and stay present in her
discomfort to achieve her hard fought, and earned success .
Listen to our brave interview, of sharing the hard and hidden parts of our story—the parts that should
break us but instead shape us, of being told no when you long for a yes, of pivoting when you already
had your course set . Andrea reflects on the importance of being present for your children, even if they
choose to open up when you’re longing to call it a day, in order to build a lasting relationship. Andrea
will likely leave you in tears with her authenticity and sincere championing of successful women and the
stories that built them, of her desire to leave an impact and a legacy, of her passion for motherhood and
helping others.
