On Authentic Leadership Podcast | Ep. 10 – From Lemonade Stand to National Movement with Liz Scott

In this inspiring episode of On Authentic Leadership, Liz Scott, co-Executive Director of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), shares the remarkable story of her daughter Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who at just 4 years old, started a lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research while bravely battling cancer herself. That small act of generosity grew into a national movement, funding over 1,500 pediatric cancer research projects across the U.S. and Canada.

Liz discusses the Foundation’s grassroots beginnings, the power of community-driven leadership, and the lessons learned in turning personal tragedy into lasting impact. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in authentic leadership, purpose-driven action, philanthropy, and making a difference one small step at a time.
