She spent 15 years mastering the American Songbook. She knew the jazz canon inside and out — Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cole Porter, Gershwin. And then she started hearing original melodies in meditation. In dreams. And she followed them.
Now Lizzie Thomas is releasing her second all-original album, This Is Freedom, heading to Carnegie Hall, touring Europe, and more herself than she has ever been. Some said she abandoned jazz. She says — listen more closely.
In this episode of Undiscovered Entrepreneur: Get Across the Start Line, Lizzie joins Skoob for one of the most soulful conversations the show has ever had. From creative health and imposter syndrome to the power of the subconscious mind and why authenticity is the only branding strategy that actually holds — this is the episode for every entrepreneur afraid to leave the lane they were trained for.
