So, our dialogue at Inspiration Loves Company is layered, always weaving together the three dimensions of our lives – the personal, professional and community. Welcome to the conversation: a powerful, relatable dialogue that offers insight and sparks change.
About Me, Debbie Epstein Henry
I had a transformative moment in my 20s when a seizure led to emergency brain surgery, only to reveal a rare – and thankfully – benign parasite. My motto ever since? “Take smart risks. Don’t wait until some crazy thing happens to start living the life you want.”
I took my own advice. Early on, I left law firm life and became an entrepreneur, public speaker and best-selling author. A decade later, I co-founded a legal talent company that was acquired nine years later by Axiom, our biggest competitor and the global industry leader. Among my professional pursuits, my favorite is to “co-inspire.” For 20+ years, I’ve done just that by interviewing fascinating thought leaders through the DEH Speaker Series.
