In this episode we welcome Lisa Nichols back to the podcast. If you'd like to hear our first conversation with her check out episode 129. 

Lisa Nichols is the CEO and co-founder of Technology Partners, a purpose-driven technology firm she and her husband, Greg, launched in 1994. Guided by transparency, integrity, and a heart for service, they’ve grown the company into one of the Midwest’s most respected tech organizations – recognized for its innovation, workplace culture, and consistent delivery of top-tier IT talent and solutions.

Beyond her business leadership, Lisa is a passionate advocate for servant leadership and community transformation. She has served in leadership roles with YWCA, Junior Achievement, Go Red for Women, Independence Center, STAGES St. Louis, and other organizations. Her faith is foundational to her work, fueling her service in CEO Forum, The Rooted Sisters, YPO Christian Fellowship, and the Down Syndrome Association.

Lisa is also the creator and host of the Something Extra podcast, which has featured hundreds of conversations with purpose-driven leaders across business, technology, education, and nonprofit sectors. These warm, insightful interviews exploring character, conviction, and leadership became the inspiration for her debut book, Something Extra: Uncover Your Strengths. Unlock Your Potential. Unleash Your Impact.

The heartbeat of Lisa’s work is personal. Her daughter Ally, who has Down syndrome, hasshaped Lisa’s vision of leadership and inspired both the podcast and the book – reminding herthat everyone has a God-given “something extra” to offer the world.

Lisa and Greg live in the St. Louis suburbs, where they raised their three children – Jordan, Paige, and Ally – and are now proud grandparents to their grandson, Sawyer.
